Breaking Through
Northeast Northwest
I know there’s nothing i should fear,
As you’ve made absolutely clear
But i still wonder
Why you love bein’ on my arm,
Radiating grace and charm,
Shine out my blunders
‘cause everything i do feels wrong,
Sour notes in lover’s songs
Misshaped, belaboured
When all i really wanna do
Is touch my brokenness to you
Some favor
Oh won’t you wait, wait me out now
I’m so slowly learning out how
I built these walls so high,
Well it’s a trickle, no deluge, but i am surely breaking through
Reaching for the sunlight
Well i been drinkin’ like a fish
Against your every waking wish
Now we’re endangered
Yeah my world’s gone double dutch
And this whiskey is my crutch
Unto myself i’m a stranger
Yeah i don’t expect you to ignore
My behavior but i assure you
I’m trying
To roust myself from this slump,
Drag myself out of the dump,
No lyin’
Oh won’t you wait, wait me out now
I’m so slowly learning out how
I built these walls so high,
Well it’s a trickle, no deluge, but i am surely breaking through
Reaching for the sunlight
