Worry For You

(Album: Stress Dreams - 2022)

I dreamt that I was running from you, I thought you were the truth
Then you called me in the morning, told me you dreamt about it too
What does it mean? If it could mean anything at all

You said our voices tied together could be powerful for protest
But I try to avoid all the things that I object
You know what I mean? I mean I don't like everything

Still I worry for you
Though I don't know what good concern can do
If you surrender some weight from your back
Then I'll give you time to catch your breath
And cover what you lack

When I can, I create a place that's safe to escape
From the hate and the hurt that rob us of our grace
If my piece can bring peace at all

If my reasons are humble
Then my comfort will be noble
And I'll make peace with my piece in it all

Still I worry for you
Though I don't know what good concern can do
If you surrender some weight from your back
Then I'll give you time to catch your breath
And cover what you lack

If asked for advice I could offer my own reckoning
And how I tried to write from outside my perspective at the thing
And it was hard and it hurt, but it helped

Maybe not better or worse
Simply needing something else
Accepting choices from love can still carry regret
And it will hardly help if it doesn't hurt

Still I worry for you
Though I don't know what good concern can do
If you surrender some weight from your back
Then I'll give you time to catch your breath
And cover what you lack
