Starts With You

(album: Lamentations - 2020)

They say you're only as sick as your secrets
If that's the truth then friend I'm dying
I spent a lifetime salvaging shipwrecks
Falling so long I thought I was flying
I've been falling so long I thought I was flying

Most folks I know don't have a problem
Reaching out when they're in trouble
But I'm the kind of guy that hits rock bottom
Laughs and asks you for a shovel
I just laugh and ask you for a shovel

Any day that ends in "y" is a good day to wreck it
Rip it all to pieces just to start brand new
But then I met you and changed my way of thinking
Now I don't want a day that doesn't start with you
Don't want a day that doesn't start with you

She said, "Why do you play all them sad songs?
Who went and hurt you so badly?"
I just laughed and said, "Baby, them sad songs
Is the only thing that make me happy"
Yeah, sad songs they make me happy

Like a dream she disappeared into the distance
That's when I knew that I'd been bitten
She made me smile more in that instant
Than any sad song ever written
Yeah, every sad song ever written

Any day that ends in "y" is a good day to wreck it
Rip it all to pieces just to start brand new
But then I met you and changed my way of thinking
Now I don't want a day that doesn't start with you
Don't want a day that doesn't start...

I've been running down these roads for my whole life
Set up shop on the wrong ones at least a couple dozen times
All of this to say
I just had to get out of my own way
To get to you

Any day that ends in "y" is a good day to wreck it
Rip it all to pieces just to start brand new
But then I met you and changed my way of thinking
Now I don't want a day that doesn't start with you
Don't want a day that doesn't start with you
