Premonition

I’m about to cave
Ya there’s nothing left to love
So much left to say
If I only cared enough
I’d be walking around trying to change
But feels like nothing ever goes my way
Trying best to keep sane
Cuz I can’t run away
Maybe there’s nowhere to go and there’s no leaving
But how could I know?
Maybe there’s nothing to show it’s all a feeling
But how do I know?
I’ve got a premonition that I keep trying to shake
Ya whether it happens or not
I’m gonna have to feel it
Feel it close to me
And it’s a bad feeling
Lying to my face
Just to see if it’ll hold
Running from the rain
Cuz I never liked the cold
I keep tripping all over my ways
Can’t look up cuz I feel the weight
Learn to live with the constraints
Nothing else matters today
I’ve got a bad feeling
Got this bad feeling
That I can’t let go
That I can’t let go
Ya nobody knows that I can’t let go

Nothing

I’ve got this feeling
That there’s not a good reason that I held my breath
Try not to think about the consequence
That there’s no ceiling
That there’s nothing to keep it from caving in
I used to think I knew it all
But people change and I’m no different
What can I do but just roll with it?
What’s it called all that I’m seeing?
Already been around the campfire singing
I’m on the mend
It’s sinking in
I’m on the edge of something new
And I’m just trying to figure what it is
I’m soaking wet
I’m born again
I’ve done it all but not for you
Still trying to learn to lean on nothing
Ya there’s no conquest
Oh what’s to do now that the jig is up?
I’m calling in some backup for it
Brace for the season
Cuz this summer I already spent all my luck
And now I think I’m about to pay for it
Next thing I know
I’m not ready
Trying hard to keep it steady
The weight of something is on my back
Ya nothing’s new but I can’t keep track
And when I’m feeling heavy
And it’s all gone to hell
I think “what’s the point of living?”
I’m not sure but I think it helps
Ya I’ve learned nothing’s sacred
If you don’t take it serious
Ya whether god’s a man or a woman
Ya what’s there to discuss?

Wait For Love

Leaning in for a picture
It’s your turn to pay for dinner
But we’re both broke so who's really keeping score?
Ya meet me by the acupuncturist
We could take turns taking a shot
Of this little bottle here I swiped from the liquor store
And let’s wait for love to come
Let’s spend the night and let it happen
There’s so much time for us
So let’s wait for love to come and get it on
I thought it’d be nice to write a note
Don’t have a pen or paper
So maybe I’ll just send a text right on the phone
Ya you look nice from what I can tell
I already hear the wedding bells
We could have a dog and a kid of our own
And it feels right
Ya it feels good
I shouldn’t rush this
But you wouldn’t let me if I could

Pushing off it
'Til the morning sees the light
I’ve been looking for some answers
Wonder about death after life
My eyes are heavy
And I’m tired as I could be
But the thoughts never stop running
I’ve given all there’s left to be
I can’t sleep
It’s the moonlight
Could you tell me
Do you ever feel like it’s
Taking over
Getting closer
Like a landslide of emotion stuck in time
You feel down but you don’t know why
Falls together
Lost as ever
Like a long night where you never quite close your eyes
Ya you try and you try but you can’t feel right
Do you tell yourself it’s us against the world?
Cuz I do it all the time
To the point where nothing hurts
Ya this is living
At least I think that’s how it works
Can’t imagine how I got here
You should take me back to church
Save it for a moment that you need it
Cuz I know you feel like it’s
I’m walking like I’m on the bottom
When did all this get so hard?
Well I keep losing
But guess I never played to win
So that’s alright
So what’s the problem?
What am I missing?
Ya there’s no reason
But sometimes I feel like

They Don't Even Try
03:06

I’ll say I did it in the name of love
It doesn’t matter if they call my bluff
Ya they’ll say “there goes the neighborhood”
There’s a new sky coming
And no one could stop it unless we try
Man on the corner with a megaphone
He said “turn back now before this all blows”
You could see apocalypse up in the sky
Ya none of this matters unless you wanna get out alive
Is there time for us in the name of love?
There’s no glory
There’s no win
There’s no sunlight left to spin
There’s no praying for their sins
Ya they don’t even try
They won’t sink if they don’t swim
They won’t go where they haven’t been
There’s no time left to begin if they don’t even try
Cuz they don’t even try
A liquor store with nothing on the shelf
Haven’t heard of a single thing they sell Ya this is it
Ya baby there’s no hell
Gotta make room for another factory farm
Where no one really helps
No room for us in the name of love
