lyrics

I’ve been thinking about the way
The wind seems to blow.
Always picking me up
And taking me as it goes.
I’m not one to believe the words
Of old so-and-so.
So you can’t keep me on the ground.
No, you can’t keep holding me down.

It’s complicated.
I’m a mess.
A hard yes, easy no,
Switch it up and you never know
Where you stand.
Or how to plan for the road,
For the road ahead.

I’ve been living my life this way
It’s all that I know.
Pick one up, put him down,
And find another to hold.
I’ve been trying to change,
I swear I want to grow old.
But I can’t keep you on the ground.
Nah, I can’t make you stick around.

It’s complicated.
You’re a mess.
A hard yes, easy no,
Switch it up and I never know
Where I stand.
Or how to plan for the road,
For the road ahead.

Photographs and memories,
They don’t mean nothing to me.
I’m gone.
Moved on.
But then I’m sober ‘til I’m not.
You’re only missed when I’ve forgotten
Everything about you.
You’ve got me jonesing
For a life that I can’t take.
You’re the habit I can’t break.

It’s complicated.
We’re a mess.
A hard yes, easy no,
Switch it up and we never know
Where we stand.
Or how to plan for the road,
For the road ahead.
