When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to write something about opening back up after being closed up, about the search for connection, and the thrill and fear of the ride and the push pull and how cautious and reckless we are…It might sound a little something like this. This of course being a rough demo in preparation for some serious recording in a couple weeks! (In other words, be careful what you say. Ahhh–see what I did there?) xox
Be Careful What You Say
Be Careful What You Say (Take it Easy)
Wednesday night ain’t nobody’s fault
We didn’t think it was gonna be like this
We all thought it was gonna be a whole lot easier
Instead it turned out to be more like a near miss
Somebody asked me if you tell the truth more when you’re drunk
I say it doesn’t make a difference either way
If you gotta get a bellyful just to say something to somebody
Odds are the night’s gonna end with someone walking away
Be careful what you say
Be careful what you say
Be careful what you say
Take it easy
I spent years and years waiting on the truth
A truth that never got told
You spend that long waiting around for something you never gonna get baby
You gonna walk away feeling good and old
Yeah you think I’m a grown up woman
You look at the lines on my face
You say right there there’s your proof
Uh uh don’t get fooled by it
Ain’t nothing but a little girl in this place
Be careful what you say
Be careful what you say
Be careful what you say
Take it easy
And all of the things we say
The reasons why we run away
Are mostly just to make us feel
Like somehow we are
Safe
And all this experience leaves us somewhere
In between the old ways and the change
We get to choose which way we head from here baby
We get to figure out what things we want to rearrange
I might come a long long way just to meet you
I might leave with a smile on my face
I might be devastated, blown away just to see you
It might be the hardest thing to walk away
Be careful what you say
Be careful what you say
Be careful what you say
Take it easy
