Lyrics

I can't wake fast enough from this long overdue sleep
Alarm is going off to remind me, of the seriousness
I can't drive fast enough to get me work on time
I am thinking about my love and how I wish there was more time
I don't see the cracks, the cars or any signs on the new expressway
I don't see the monuments, the official statues, I don't look anymore
Its something we claim to be standing for

If it's help, I could use some
If it's help, I could use some

So I just sit at work and dream to get though the day
It's just another company with timelines and tragedies
To keep my hands tied, with all these deadlines
Should have taken some time off to be with Gloria
Unpaid or whatever, I should have, I should have
But now she's gone
And I want to visit a few states I missed along the way
New Jersey, North Caroline, South Southeast
I just want to pick up the pace
And this guitar and play

If it's healing, I could use some now
If it's healing, I could use some now

A phone call from my dad on Tuesday
I told him of my troubles and he said son
Open your eyes, this job is a blessing
You're saving kids lives and doing what is right
But I don't feel right, reducing my life
To meet someone else's dream
Just burn me up young and throw me out old
Alone and full of regret
So I can't leave fast enough to get me out of this place
The alarm is going off to remind me, of the seriousness

If it's hope, I could use some
If it's hope, I could use some
If it's hope, I could use some
