Hard Day
02:56
|
|||
|
Woke up to a melt-down and I felt down, all-around
my mind all caught up in a loop of negative feedback
under all of the straws that broke this camels back
it almost seems without a cause, like some kinda train-wreck
Sometimes it just comes out
feel like I wanna cry
feel like I wanna shout
I usually try to handle it inside, not out
It's just a hard day
it isn't always this way
try not to be depressed
try to get some rest
try to do some work on these hard days, hard day
It's just the time of year, plus givin' myself the gears
my time of month is here and I wanna disappear
but I gotta pay the bills, I gotta take out the trash
and these dishes won't do themselves
and I'm almost out of cash, I guess I better find some fast, oh well
It's just a hard day (I feel that I keep failing)
It isn't always this way (I'm tired of complaining)
try not to be depressed
try to get some rest
try to do some work on these hard days, hard day
Take your vitamin D, get some exercise
A few attempts to meet a friend
and a few attempts to go outside, go outside

Ill Fitted
03:19
|

You’re like an ill-fitted garment
No matter how much I alter it
It never really did fit
And the cost was never worth it
I don’t wanna try you on, I can see that the cut is all wrong
So tired of wearing things that don’t belong
Cause I never cared to shop around
And I find what I need is what I’ve found
Too many layers, they just weigh me down
So I travel light, cover greater ground
What I wear has been worn in, in all the right ways
And it’s been my armour for so, so, so many days
I’m afraid I’m so frayed that I’ve got holes in my knees
So forgive me if I don’t seem too eager to please

Twice in a Lifetime
04:17
|
|||
|
You can think of how I can by
Once in a lifetime
You made my cry when you said goodbye
Once in a lifetime, it passed by
But I picked myself up off the floor
Feel so much better than I did before
Feel so much better than I did with you
Love can make me such a fool
Chorus:
But I promise you it’s over, I promise you it’s over
And I ain’t gonna turn or run back for cover (ooh ooh)
I see what you’ve got, had me runnin hot
But could not disguise the pain that I felt inside
With you paradise was pain
With you logic was insane
Twice in a lifetime, must’ve lost my mind
Still I wish you well, in the way nice people wish other people well
Yeah, I wish you well, In a stay the hell far away from me kinda way, yeah
I wish you well, but I don’t want to know anything
so if you know, don’t tell me
I wish you well, I wish you well
So now you can think, think about how I came by
Twice in a lifetime, twice in lifetime
Made me cry, when you said goodbye
Just forgave myself for letting you inside

Sitting, with uncomfortable feelings
Got me staring at the ceiling
Though I know it’s gonna be alright
Sitting, waiting for your decision
If you’re pulling out that rug again
Not going down that road again with you
Cause you’re acting like a child
Needs your eyes opened wide
Shouldn’t be surprised to find
That your own load is yours to carry
I know sometimes it’s scary
And I want you to be well
But it’s time to tell you all about the real world,
Girl you got some things to learn
(chorus)
I’m caught up in my fear and
It filters what I hear
Makes me want to disappear
But why do I feel so strongly?
What if I’m thinking wrongly?
I only wanted to be kind
Leave something good behind me
But my understanding is limited
So tell me, who am I trying to kid?

Runnin'
04:23
|
|||
|
I can see you just tryin to get by
You've been so lonely, lonely, no one by your side
Scheduling distraction to occupy your mind
Spread yourself half an inch deep, a mile wide
Chorus:
(You've been) runnin, runnin, runnin, runnin ( x4 )
Saw me afar as if from heaven above
So you put the effort in and told me that it was love
Second time I let you in, you told me that I was the one
So I opened up my heart and you dove right in
We were gonna share our future and our home and our kin
But we are who we are and you have always been... (chorus)
You made split decisions when you cast me aside
Now I've decided not to let you decide
That’s why I told you to leave me be
Cause you hurt me once – shame on you
But you hurt me twice, now that’s shame on me too
And I’m not gonna make it three
That’s why you’ll find me... (chorus)

Longing
04:37
|
|||
|
Babe you got me thinkin bout the plans that I made
And I didn’t expect to be thinkin this way
To be thinkin of you and the things that you do
But I find myself distracted thinkin of all the things we could do
And the moment feels so good, But I don’t know if we should
And I don’t want to regret it, maybe we should just forget it
It feels so good when you’re holding me tight
Got me wonderin if you should stay the night
So many things that I don’t know, but right now I want you so
If things do go south this one doesn’t just go away
And although I want you now, doesn’t mean I want you to stay
Is that okay? To just give in, to be human, Or am I foolin’ myself again
My head keeps tellin me this isn’t meant to be
But I really like talking to you, and my body has more to say than I do
So we could just waste time, it could be sublime
But how can I go down that road when I know
that there isn’t much further for us to go
I hate to make a mistake when hearts are at stake
Well I just gotta let you know

I Don't Belong
04:42
|
|||
|
Confidence shot
Acutely aware of all that I am not
Seems to me, the critic has a lot to say
I’m a sham, a show, a joke
Made up of mirrors and smoke
Invisibility darkens my door
I don’t think I belong here
I don’t think I belong here
I don’t think I belong, no not at all
I imagine that everyone is thinking
‘who is she? And why is she taking up so much space?’
Won’t somebody come see about me?
Won’t somebody come see about me?
Won’t somebody come see about me?
And all the sharks have been circling
Ever since my bloodletting
But I cannot feel them, all I can feel is my wound

Fill My Cup
03:12
|
|||
|
You fill – you fill my cup up
Even when I’m on the ground, you always lift my chin up
You fill – you fill my cup up
And I think it’s gonna spill, you fill me up with so much love
Pretty as a penny, she tells it like it is
Calls me to my highest, cause she’s the best that there is
She taught me how to love, and she taught me to have fun
So I hatched myself a plan to make her my #1 (chorus)
Loveliest of Walkers, she walked into my heart
She's my all-weather lover, from whom I’ll never be apart
My blue-eyed twin, sister to my soul
She gives and gives good, a love that keeps me whole (chorus)
Bridge:
Mother and a lover, a sister and a friend
She's always there to listen and her thoughtfulness knows no end
I love her in the summer and I love her in the fall
No matter what the weather I love her most of all
Na na na Nanise, Na na na na na Nanise,
Na na na na Nanise, Na na na na Nanise
(Chorus)

I Liked You
03:35
|
|||
|
Of everyone who wants to be with me
you seem to want it the lease
why prioritize when you're so indecisive?
hanging on a line simply because I liked you
And I tried to let go of expectations
cause he's such a treat when I get to taste him
but it's like standing with my back toward traffic
cause tonight I can see that he's too drunk to fuck
and in the morning he will be too hungover
And every time I want to call you
or reach out see how you're doing
instead I write a love letter to someone that I have never met
cause I am finished waiting around at home
and wondering if you've lost your interest or your phone
My heart is obsessively insistent on the greater than the good
one of those lessons I forgot I know
is I can love and I can let go
Of everyone who wants to be with me
you seem to want it the lease
why prioritize when you're so indecisive?
hanging on a line simply because I liked you

Almost There
05:10
|
|||
|
My head aches
Almost as if being birthed
but that doesn’t mean that anything is wrong
Indeed it means that everything is perfectly right
The bow breaks, shit. I've never done this before
Just pick myself up off the floor and say I’ve learned a lesson more
Is it fate? Or does fate rearrange?
Does fate take into account how I can be so strange
I can believe it, I can almost see it
I’m on fire, thank you for noticing
It's fast approaching on the horizon
I can see it with my own eyes again
And if I’m gasping for air, that just means I’m almost there
I’m okay, though sometimes I don’t feel that way
Just gotta listen to what my body has to say
I can sit, I can be silent for a bit
I can breathe, relax my mind, and be surprised by what I find (cause)

Jr. Gone Wild - Still Got The Jacket
by Jr. Gone Wild
supported by 6 fans who also own “Sitting, with Uncomfortable Feelings”
I waited 26 years for this album, and it was worth ever second. It’s got twangy angst, upbeat road songs, a little one-two-fuck you aggression, but mostly it has a whole lot of earnest heart. Really, something for everybody. It’s a long 16 track album, but not a single song is filler. Cheap at twice the price.
