jared mees & the grown children - w.w.j.b.d. lyrics

Loading...

you had a panic attack in the petrified forest for a night
you’d been sick in santa cruz
it was your one day off in 25
and they let you catch your breath
under a billion-starred new mexican sky

you had another outside austin:
you were driving, suddenly you couldn’t breathe
you were listening to a show
about a widow who was horribly bereaved
only, she had saved the scene:
she was going to have his baby

and you ended up on your knees in the red sand
sobbing in the phone, back to me back in portland

i said, “i know it’s over, i’ve known it for a bit
you feel like everything is over:
you’re scared you’re gonna lose it
but just take 10 deep breaths, try and smile if you can
get up out of the sand
because this is what you wanted
though this isn’t what you planned.”

and you’re not dying
your soul just can’t keep up with the van

you caught a fever in grand junction
it was the best show on the tour
the kids were all ecstatic
but their p-ssion was just too much to endure
and you sent me a blurry photo, saying:
“why can’t music always be this pure?”

and you f-cked it up, your wrist
in the grand trying to jump this train
you said, “sometimes, staring death in the face
takes it’s power away”
i said “…that’s not the sort of thing someone wants to hear their loved one say.”

the van left you there on the tracks
all hammered and confused
which ill-strates the paradox we face
when paying our dues

that it’s all coming together
though its feeling like such a mess
and it takes a little time to calm that chaos in our chest
so just take 10 deep breaths
try to smile if you can
get the h-ll out of the ground
because this is what you wanted though it isn’t what you planned

and you’re not dying
your soul just can’t keep up with the van
