lyrics

I ain’t givin up on my family
And I’ma keep on living with you here with me
I ain’t gonna quit not quitin’ things
And I think I got sixty years left in this thing
Though I’m not old
I’m not gold
I’m workin on it baby, only time will heal my soul
I won’t go
Hell no!
Nothin’s ever over cause we have tomorrow
I love bein’ here
Oh please tell momma not to worry,
I won’t disappear
I can wait days or months or years
However long it takes for the smoke to finally clear
No matter what you’re someone’s baby
If you disagree, consider maybe there’s someone on this planet
patiently waiting for you
So I’ma make sure push through
So if you’re rolling your eyes, I understand
Once a year a song this corny passes through my pen
But I cannot wait for this to happen again
Without making it exactly clear exactly where I stand

Right I’m alive and so are you
And I ain’t got no earthly conception of the shit that you go through
And if you wanna know the best thing that you can do
Is just know that things will sometimes/always come out of the blue
It’s true, the blue is always here with you

I hate being here
Shit gets hard and things get dark
There’s voices I can hear
I can run through my fears
Cracking little jokes and anecdotes so I won’t disappear
I’m runnin so this death can’t take me
Feel my love and feel my safety
Let's keep things on this side of that lonely dimensional split
I’ma make sure you don’t quit
