She's Given up on Today

She woke up on the long way down
Finding her feet new ground
A child she’d been proud
Older now look around
Gravities fled
Secrets bleed
Men just friends
The tightest thread

Verse 1
Standing by the back door
Listening for the crows
And moving like the barley
Fields behind the houses
She’s craving for the past
Pleading for the future
She stands like burning paper
She feels like burning paper

She’s given up on today

She’s gone on her way, she’s on her way, she’s given up on today

Her hands are always moving
Her hair is always tied
In a blister of emotion
A distance of the tide
Her periwinkle bedroom
Looks out of place and dated
She sways in lost devotion
Living once as holy

She’s given up on today

She’s gone on her way, she’s on her way

The man she used to live with
Left long ago and died then
In her he’s never ending
She cannot live without that
She rumbles through the rooms
Gathering memories beside her
She needs them for this journey
She will not leave without them
The sunsets high the trees grieve
She begins turning
It’s too bright to see now
She falls to her knees

She’s given up on today

She’s gone on her way, she’s on her way, she’s on her way, she’s on her way, she’s given up on today
