about

Dedicated to mom’s advice.

lyrics

She wants to be aligned
To give herself away
You’ve seen it done before
Solving all of life’s mundane’s
She wants to be alone
Seek comfort with the rain
But I’m feeling mighty fine, circling around the drain

I know you don’t care too much
And darling youth is on your side
Why would you worry what’s sat at the finish line

She wants to be aligned
And lose herself today
But then again afraid of those who play the cushion game
She wants to be alone
To build a fort to keep her safe
But spooning with your friends at 40 doesn’t seem to be the thing

I know you don’t care too much
But dancing on your own gets rough
When you don’t want to talk to strangers you just wanna drop it hot
I know you don’t care too much
But singing by yourself gets dull
When you already feel pathetic and there’s a harmonic lull
I know you don’t care too much
And darling youth is on your side
Why would you worry
Who could hold you through the night
I know you don’t care too much
Finding alternate ways to pray
But it doesn’t stop here
This is only the beginning

Hold on like it’s the last time
I think this is the last
It’s the last.
