Maybe There's A Way

(album: Inside Voices / Outside Voices - 2022)

Regrets piling up like tabs at a dive bar
Like parking tickets on my beat-up car
Like all the texts that I left unread
I love yous that I never said, I'm sorry
Pressure building up in my cluttered mind
So I turn my back and I close my eyes
On the scary shit
What a careless thing to do

Lately all I do is fall

But when my head hits the ground
And my bones don't break
I say, "Hey, wait
Maybe I'm okay"
Thought I died last night
But the morning came
I say, "Hey, wait
Maybe I can change"
Maybe there's a way
Maybe there's a way

Shit piling up like birds in a bad dream
Like empty bottles in the kitchen sink
Like the clumsy words I said when I was hurting
Mama told me that
The lowest low's a good place to start
Take out the trash, pay my credit card
Wash my hair and forgive myself for living

Lately all I do is fall, fall, fall

But when my head hits the ground
And my bones don't break
I say, "Hey, wait
Maybe I'm okay"
Thought I died last night
But the morning came
I say, "Hey, wait
Maybe I can change"
Maybe there's a way

Feeling homesick
And I don't know where home is
I played a hundred shows last week
Red eyes, no sleep
Boss said that's showbiz
I might have lost focus
I know, I know
But I'm not hopeless, no

When my head hits the ground
And my bones don't break
I say, "Hey, wait
Maybe I'm okay"
Maybe there's a way
Maybe there's a way

Thought I died last night
But the morning came
I say, "Hey, wait
Maybe I can change"
Maybe there's a way
Yeah, maybe there's a way
