From the recording Second Chances
Lyrics
You were breaking hearts down in Abilene
I was raising hell since I was 17
You were born to make it
I was try’n to fake it
But we should have know better
Life doesn’t make much sense
Between love and happiness
I was solving problems with a slam’n door
We were facing issues that we couldn’t ignore
I can overthink it
You can underplay it
But we should have know better
It’s all just big damn shame
When you’re look’n for someone to blame
Yeah it’s hard to know if things will ever get better
When the lines are blur’n search’n for the truth
And we pray to God, but Lord it sure ain’t easy, not really
When we’re hold’n on, hold’n on, hold’n on
Back at square one
You were carrying on about therapy
I was freak’n out and getting cold feet
You were gonna chase it
I didn’t wanna face it
But we should have know better
Rome wasn’t built in a day
With a $20 dollar co-pay
Yeah it’s hard to know if things will ever get better
When the lines are blur’n search’n for the truth
And we pray to God, but Lord it sure ain’t easy, not really
When we’re hold’n on, hold’n on, hold’n on
Back at square one
And I know it’s not that simple
No I’m really not naive
When I think about our chances and the things we can’t unsee
And we barely scratched the surface, though we’ve untied some knots
When we finally reach the bottom
And the only way is up
But its nice to know that we can grow together
Maybe life’s a problem, we don’t need to solve
Still there’s days when I think, God, this sure ain’t easy, not really
When we’re hold’n on, hold’n on, hold’n on
Back at square one
