LYRICS
YOU'RE FINE
Flashing lights I see around
On the phone the doctor says now
It’s clear to see that something’s not okay
So don’t work today, it’s not okay
And don’t tell me it’s gonna be okay
Because I know “okay” and it feels as though we’re slipping away
And something keeps it going every time
And even though you say, “You’re mine.”
It doesn’t feel like that
It’s cold outside, of course we’ll hide,
We’ll make it there some other way
Why must we fight or even try?
We’ll make it there eventually
And the flame fills you on
And it feels like you don’t belong
And the flame withers your insides
Something keeps it going every time.
And it can’t get off, even if you try
And you wash away, but you still feel the line
Just know, you’re fine

20+ YEARS
Restless face, dirty phone
Lucky you, all alone
Love you Dear, so he says
Then he goes on a walk without you
All you get are pretty lies
They weigh you down
Come on with the compromise
Oh, but how?
2 a.m. he comes to you
Yeah, ring that bell
Can we help?
Twenty plus years it's been now
But these last two have just
Brought me down
It's plain to see, just look around
Can we work this out?
Can we work this out?
It's breaking my heart to see you down
This bluff, oh Mama, Mama how?
It's plain to see, just look around
Can we work this out?
We can't work this out
People see, no one speaks
Twisted health benefits the weak
Wait in line, watch your step
Breathe in, breathe in, deeply
All you get are pretty lies
They weigh you down
Come on with the compromise
Oh, but how
2 a.m. he comes to you
Yeah, ring that bell
Can we help?
Twenty plus years it's been now
But these last two have just
Brought me down
It's plain to see, just look around
Can we work this out?
Can we work this out?
It's breaking my heart to see you down
This bluff, oh Mama, Mama how?
It's plain to see, just look around
Can we work this out?
We can't work this out.

LITTLE SECRET
Let me settle on a little secret
Straining my filtered heart
I can't help you
But you can help me
Come and put some time away for me
Oh, I can't help but see
You're the harmony
That filters right through me
Talley down your favorite blend
Raw and free just like you said
Come to me and we'll pretend
That nothing - your voice - nothing
Well now, don't talk
Don't speak, unlocked this is, but so unique
Come through to me
Avoid misuse broken down, nothing to lose (nothing to lose)
Talley down your favorite blend
Raw and free just like you said
Come to me and we'll pretend
That nothing - this mix - nothing
This valley has to see
To see
