lyrics

Woke up early
long before sun
could delegate a daylight to a dawn
and swore that today
would be the one
to turn this year around

see these emotions
this frivolous talk
Been second nature
Since I learned to walk

Put lines to a page
and hold that thought
Waiting round for the shoe that drops
And huddling in misery

(Chorus)
well you’ll see
A better version of me
The kinder gen-t-ler frame of mind
We don’t practice while we preach
Gotta reason to believe
If I don’t make the time
The time makes me

(V2)
what I’m after
I don’t need to see
Cuz intuition
Is the flowering tree

That clings to its buds
Like a honey bee
A nectar sweet and mild

And these emotions
this frivolous speech
Been second nature
Since my body could breath

Put lines to a page
Till it makes you weak
But that don’t put you on easy street
“The work” is still a mystery

(Chorus)
well you’ll see
A better version of me
The kinder gen-t-ler frame of mind
We don’t practice while we preach
Gotta reason to believe
If I don’t make the time
The time makes me
