about

This song is me contemplating how fucking hard it is to put your all into something, and not get what you wanted out of it. But what it really comes down to is: would you rather be sucking at something you love, or great at something that sucks... hmmm... pun intended?

lyrics

Say maybe could we down the clocks for once
Sounds crazy but I’ve got no accomplishments
Please save me without land I got no mark on the map
Say maybe could you lend me a hand and put me back on the path
Cause I’ve got no estate
Sounds crazy but the farmland’s looking mighty fine
Please save me like an over ripe peach I’ve harvested my time
Is this my fate? Bruised and battered each day.
So get up and get out of there
Cause you’ll never know what gets you till you’re down
So get up and get out of there
Cause you’ll never know what gets you till you’re out
I was a fool to think that
Life would come so easily
I know
So tell me if the second or third time’s the charm
What befell me if this fails me again might it do me some harm
Might as well be the last thing on earth it’s the last thing I’ll try
How does Janelle see all of that beauty and oh why can’t I
See this fate of mine is such a waste of time
Just hold on to that hope don’t cut it out!
