...someone who’s trying, trying, trying and things just don’t seem to go right. It’s definitely one of the more hopeful songs on the record. It’s like, “Just take a step back, take a deep breath and let life take you where it’s gonna go. Just go with the flow. Sit in the river and stop struggling and everything’s going to be cool.”
You pull up on the e brake
your face is red as the curb
and you think
how easy, to cry
but you won't let em see you break
just spend a day with me
I know it's hard to be
everything everyone wants
just fall right into me
my love will guide you
you're everything I ever wanted to be
it's never been this hard
there just ain't enough time
barely makin sense
will it ever be easy
just spend a day with me
I know it's hard to be
everything everyone wants
just fall right into me
my love will guide you
you're everything I ever wanted to be
you got an angel's heart
turn it on
you gotta take a chance
and be strong
just spend a day with me
I know it's hard to be
everything everyone wants
just fall right into me
my love will guide you
you're everything I ever wanted to be
