lyrics

I was born on a dead end road
I’ve been running away now that I know
That everything ain’t like it was back home
Oh darling it’s a great wide world
I was born with a heart that broke
I was born with brittle little bones
But I was not born to be a ghost
Oh darling it’s been time to go

Hey baby
I heard them say
There ain’t no easy way out
But I think I found one
You keep your eyes open wide
And you keep your head down

I was born a memory
I was born a broken dream
Just a heartache with a heart that beats
They made me want what nobody needs

Hey baby
I heard them say
There ain’t no easy way out
But I think I found one
You keep your eyes open wide
And you keep your head down

All the songs they wrote
I never tried to sing
But every note we stole
I still hear them ring

Hey baby
I heard them say
There ain’t no easy way out
But I think I found one
You keep your eyes open wide
And you keep your head down

Hey baby
I heard them say
There ain’t no easy way out
But I think I found one
You keep your eyes open wide
And you keep your head down

one of my favorites this year, and i'm crossing my fingers it gets a physical release. chris porterfield remains one of the best lyricists, writing songs that conjure up emotions that feel so tangible. his form of storytelling is like sitting down with someone and having a conversation; everything is laid out right in front of you, ready to be picked up.
