Untitled #2

(album: Songs From The Valley - 2019)

Well, you're drowning your mind in your casket
And I'm worried that you might be stuck in your youth
Still you wait for the man in the bathroom
So you can wash off your hands, clean the blood off your boots
So you can wash off your hands, clean the blood off your boots

And you came home from a long night of drinking
You drove the car straight into the ditch
Oh, but I pray that you find something that lights your fire
And you chase it 'til your legs give out, oh
Yeah, 'cause there's more to this life than forgetting last night

And after all the time I've spent alone
And after all the years that pass by, oh darling, I
I know that you've grown
But I don't know
If I'll have you around
So please slow down

Now the candles you lit, they just keep burning out
So your tears smear the page before you could rephrase it
You were writing to a loved one or maybe yourself
Saying, "I hate my life, I don't think I'ma make it"

Well, you've lost a few friends along the way
Based on the way that your emotions are portrayed
When you're wasted, I don't blame you
Oh, but I understand that your heart was ripped out
Of your chest and thrown right in the sand
And it's easy just to drink away the pain
Now it's time to let 'em go so you can fly with the wind

Now you're wasting your years looking for someone
Who really loves you, who really needs you, girl
Though I swear that they're out there, you need to realize
That nobody can love you 'til you love yourself
So put all your worries on a shelf and just run for the hills

And after all the time I've spent alone
And after all the years that pass by, oh darling, I
I know that you've grown
But I don't know
If I'll have you around
So please slow down, woo-ooh
Slow down

And after all the time I've spent alone
And after all the years that pass by, oh darling, I
I know that you've grown
But I don't know
If I'll have you around
So please slow down
