I try to say something of interest
But the attempt to make a mark is all that comes to mind
I’ve got debts and they’re racking interest
I can’t keep paying down these vultures with borrowed time
Batten down the hatches
It can take an inch to walk a mile
Don’t strike all your matches
Settle down, muster up a smile
It’s gonna be a while
The call it is persistent
The world keeps on insisting this is hard to find
I’m always asking her “is this it?”
Nobody ever dreamt of giving in at 25
Curb that cold perspective
Straighten up, a momentary drought
True joy is elected
You’re holding all the cards, and dealing all the doubt
Find your way back out
