Taken from Folk Dope (2018)

lyrics

[v1]
So maybe you’ve been wondering the reason I don’t smile
I took to looking down and couldn’t stop after a while
I stumbled into streetlights – gone thru a glass front door
Because of this fixation – always staring at the floor

[v2]
You know nicotine rules over me - I guess that I should quit
Turning my insides and my singing voice to shit
An urgency at seventeen not gone at twenty-four
I done it since the day I started staring at the floor

[Bridge]
But I’ve decided things are looking up
The sky above’s been whispering enough is enough
I might as well look somewhere else to find a better view
The scenery is killing me – I swear to God it’s true

[v3]
Well my baby tried to help me - she said your head’s a mess
I was chewing on some bubblegum like I could care no less
She’s rantin’ and a-ravin’ while my eyes were glazing over
I never saw her leave ‘cause I was staring at the floor

[v4]
I took a trip upon a ship - it sailed across the sea
One minute everything was fine - the next – catastrophe!
The captain called a rescue boat to take us back to shore
I was inclined to stay behind and see the ocean floor


[Bridge]
But I’ve decided things are looking up
The sky above’s been whispering enough is enough
I might as well look somewhere else to find a better view
The scenery is killing me – I swear to God it’s true

[v5]
I pray someday you’ll rescue me and save me with a kiss
My life’s like a piñata - it’s always hit and miss
I dream to see your deep blue eyes if I could just ignore
The tendency to constantly be staring at the floor
