about

We recorded this song while living on a farm without electricity. We found a trailer with nice acoustics and hooked it up to a tractor for power. Pretty cool.

lyrics

Sometimes I wish you'd leave me to rest
and stop testing me
but that's not how life works, not how life works,
not how life works
Please count the steps I've taken
and leave me be
not validate the reasons
to keep me beat

I've tried so hard and come so far
but things keep getting in my way
might have missed a step along the way
but you won't drag me down today

Sometimes I feel my hearts too cold
to hold or love or even beat
some days it's heavy some days it's tired
some days it's a little weak
It's wrapped in winter bathed in snow
I know it's trying so hard
to make me happy

Sometimes I think I'll miss this place
when it's full of empty space
and the things I own are all packed away
I could damn the bank and damn the state
could damn my luck but it's all a waste
on New Year's Day

I've tried so hard and come so far
but things keep getting in my way
might have missed a step along the way
but you won't drag me down today

But I'll keep building bridges
to get me over the mess I live in
keep putting miles on this car
roll my stone a little too far
to bring me back again

I've tried so hard and come so far
but things keep getting in my way
might have missed a step along the way
I set the bar I need to star the places
I want to see on my way
but there's a new start for me
on New Year's Day
