There's a beat upstairs when I say my prayers
There's a ticking in the core of my gut
I hear my father's fight when I strum at night
I just wasn't raised to be someone
I can start to see that the veins aren't weak
It's just a blue blood job
She's got it too, she's a lot like you
Her heart drops
So tell me when you get a grip
Tell me when you get it back
You can let it slip it's a better trip, right off track
There's a moment kid, you were sitting at
And for a while I could not sleep
Then I realized it was waiting in the dark for me
It's a world of pain a very real thing
You're a better girl right now
I'll bide my luck, it's just not enough
Calm down
So tell me when you get a grip
Tell me when you get it back
You can let it slip it's a better trip, right off track
Don't you shed a tear
I'll let you under my wing
It's a maze up here
But the air's a dream
You don't have to keep all the cards stacked
