Honeysuckle

(album: Wasteland - 2023)

Honeysuckle bummer with some hat trick luck
Knocking up the preacher's daughter, same old
Burning Californias on the tip of his tongue
While Judy's in Columbus with a painter

Ricky quit drinking, now he's borderline obsessed
Itchy in the head, what a buzzkill
Abby's getting fame with her dyed blue hair
Killing all her old friends for some new ones

I think it's just a timing thing
Everything's changing now
Nothing good is ever getting better for free

Penny shot some tragedy, it's turning him to ash
Circling the pages of a want ad
Daddy quit smoking and he's feeling so refreshed
I've been lighting mine with his regrets

I think it's just a timing thing
Everything's changing now
Nothing good is ever getting better for free
Nothing good is ever getting better when you hold too tightly

What do you fear? Is it just that time of year?
All stuck in your throat again, painting a picket fence
But it's comfortable in here, time to pony up
Time to pony up, time to pony up, time to pony up

Sentimental, so subliminal

Heavy metal drummer got me trying my best
Lucky charming horseshoes in the garden
Running down a rabbit hole with pockets full of wax
Trying to get better in the morning

I think it's just a timing thing
Everything's changing now
Nothing good is ever getting better for free
Nothing good is ever getting better for me
Nothing good is ever getting better when you hold too tightly
Hold too tightly, hold too tightly
