As my nervous eyes opened up on that rainy day,
New Haven. I'm pretty sure you didn't know what to say.
I arrived with a smile and a pen,
told the first nurse that asked how its all gonna end.
Now I'm clean and I'm warm being told that I'm loved.
Lightning bolt strikes to the ground, makes an old familiar sound, reminding me of all my past mistakes, to any god that's up above, you couldnt show any truer love, that my mom has for me her perfect mistake.
theres a lesson instilled in our blood in our roots over time, I'm sure it makes sense to someone else, the river you walk along may not be your friend, assume nothing is on your side, sure I've lied, don't we all.
we get scared and then we get numb, our flaws are what make us such perfect mistakes, thats all we are
If you have a fondness for expertly wrought roots-rock with sharp lyrics and aching vocals, look no further—“Strangers” is for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
