about

My writing was stuck, so I tried something very un-fancy, and this story is what came out.

lyrics

You don't know where you belong
Don't know where you're going
Always helped you to be strong
Took my turn at rowing
Everything you want is upstream
Did you think that you would get to take the easy way

Carved initials in a tree
We were only children
Dreams for you and dreams for me
Bet we could have built them
Coasted long enough, let's pick up speed
Did you think that we would get to take the easy way

The easy way / The easy way

Seen too many gone astray
Too many lost in fighting
Got to get far away
From what you are inciting
No one ever says, "There's too much love"
Did you think that you would get to take the easy way
Did we think we might get to take the easy way
What made us think that we could take the easy way
