Flare Lyrics

Static almost louder than the music

Static getting louder every time the wipers wave

Crying in the car as I drive home

'Cause wouldn't you know I'm no good with change

Passing tall men in tiny cars,

We're headed towards the bridge that takes us home

Little lights on little boats,

And here I am, behind the wheel, alone

Catastrophe takes ahold of me

Simplicity is lost

Easy's never easy for me

Relief's not worth the cost

As the needle breaks the skin, I wince and take my medicine

That's one week down and eighty years to go

If I live to be a hundred, won't I just be one big scar?

Promise you'll call the papers, tell them I grew old

Passing other brave women driving transport trucks

It's just girls on the road tonight

This tired life that we're living, they're just trying to make a buck

I'm just trying to make it home all right

Catastrophe takes ahold of me

Simplicity is lost

Easy's never easy for me

Relief's not worth the cost

I keep trying to tell myself that this is something I need

But I know that without it, I can still get around

The tree in my backyard's so heavy with its new summer leaves

So don't you ever try to tell me change won't weigh me down

Catastrophe takes ahold of me

Simplicity is lost

Easy's never easy for me

Relief's not worth the cost

Change won't weigh me down

Change won't weigh me down

Change won't weigh me down

Change won't weigh me down

Change won't weigh me down

Change won't weigh me down

And the heaviest bough

It's full of birds now

It's full of birds now

It's full of birds now

Full of birds now
