Taking good care of yourself...
Updated: Jul 24, 2020
...ain't as easy as it sounds.
Ever heard a song that resonates so beautifully with where you are that you just can't get it out of your head? And you wonder if the songwriter might have been reading your mind? Aside from this song being so catchy I find myself singing it throughout the day, the lyrics are great. I hope you like it as much as I do. I love sharing good stuff.
Lyrics:
chipping away at drywall and tearing out the sockets
underneath a busted overhead, god help this apartment
it’s the long-due rewiring of a home, mind, and broken heart
and it’s already started, albeit with much reluctance so far
what’s the point when it’s easier to forget
sleep away the day its easier to forget
sharing a cigarette outside talking outside Charlie’s Kitchen
on the verge of burning out I said, “this is really some Thanksgiving”
when the power of your words ran in a current through my brain
“man, if your fucked up it ain’t your fault but its yours if you stay that way”
what’s the point when it’s easier to forget
leave it ‘til tomorrow it’s easier to forget
if you need a safe place to crash come around
I’ve got a well-lit living room and a comfy couch
in the morning we can sit by the stove and talk all about
how taking good care of yourself ain’t as easy as it sounds
if you need a safe place to crash gimme a shout
I’ve got a pretty view of the sunrise over downtown
in the morning we can sip on some joe and talk all about
how taking good care of yourself ain’t as easy as it sounds
chipping away at drywall a mess of cables on the carpet
it’s a nightmare upstairs, there have been times I’ve almost lost it
winging it D.I.Y. with everything at my disposal
its all error and trial, until the energy flows and the filament glows
