Genevieve

(album: Drift - 2022)

"Play for me all our days
I couldn't say I caused delay,"
His Schylling shakes low and breaks
"Now how far are we along?"

"Was there something you were gonna say?"

You in your summer sweat
Melting me in loving heat
I gotta go, 'cause I can't show
My face here anymore

This trying has been trying
Has been trying, has been trying
Has been trying, has been trying
Has been trying, has been trying
Has been trying, has been trying
I've been trying for you

And as long as you've known me, "I couldn't wait"
And was there something you were gonna say?

Never better late than never better

This timing takes work
This "practice takes purses"
I still hope you're sure (I'd take anything)
I still hope I'm worth it (I'd take anything)

It's always early until it's late, until you're late, until I'm late

The 6-10's are mine, at least you know (I'd take anything) {It's always early until it's late}
Know what's on my mind, right? (I'd take anything) {It's always early until you're late}
{It's always early until I'm late}
Losing my nightly race (I'd take anything) {It's always early until it's late}
Just trying to take my own place now (I'd take anything) {It's always early until you're late}
{It's always early until I'm late}
This trying comes first (I'd take anything) {It's always early until it's late}
Is it all still working? (I'd take anything) {It's always early until you're late}
{It's always early until I'm late}
Still hope you're sure (I'd take anything) {It's always early until it's late}
Still hope I'm worth it (I'd take anything) {It's always early until you're late}
{It's always early until I'm late}

My Genevieve, on the eve of everything, sits with me and grieves
All I said and forgot but stuck, all your life just waiting on me, waiting on luck
My Genevieve, on the eve of everything, sits with me and grieves
I'd take anything, I'd take anything, I'd take anything now
I'd take anything, I'd take anything now
I'd take anything, I'd take anything now

Was there something you were gonna say?
