Cracking up

CRACKING UP (E A D G B E)

 


What time is it? I think I just felt rain. It’s sinking in. Like a thought I can’t explain.

Superpowers. I don’t need them. I’m strong enough. Pretty flowers. Tougher than me. And I’m pretty tough.

 

Reverse parking. Use your mirrors. Try not to rush. It’s not funny and I’m not laughing. I’m cracking up. I’m cracking up. I’m cracking up.


I'm the same but I'm changing

I’M THE SAME BUT I’M CHANGING (D A D G B E)

 


Rabbits float and ducks eat grass. Watch the snake as he flies past. The possum never knew her name. I’m changing but I’m the same.

 

Feel the wind brush your cheek. Watch the leaves float down the creek. Jump right in don’t be ashamed. I’m changing but I’m the same.

 

Clean your bed and make your car. Wish upon a broken star. Sing all night and fall day. I’m changing but I’m the same.

 

Spin the world the other way. Put your hope in yesterday. It’s not a big but I’m just saying; I’m the same but I’m changing. I’m the same but I’m changing. I’m the same but I’m changing.


I'm changing but I'm the same

I’M CHANGING BUT I’M THE SAME (D A D G B E)

 


Rabbits float and ducks eat grass. Watch the snail as he flies past. The possum never knew her name. I’m changing but I’m the same.

 

Feel the wind brush your cheek. Watch the leaves float down the creek. Jump right in don’t be ashamed. I’m changing but I’m the same.

 

Clean your bed and make your car. Wish upon a broken star. Sing all night and fall day. I’m changing but I’m the same.

 

Spin the world the other way. Put your dreams in yesterday. It’s not a big but I’m just saying; I’m the same but I’m changing. I’m the same but I’m changing. I’m the same but I’m changing.


Now it is dark

NOW IT IS DARK (D G D G B E)

 


Now it dark it is really dark and I realise it wasn’t really that dark before.

Though I know it is real it is hard to believe that when the light returns it will be enough.

So I’m drawing the blinds and I’m closing my eyes and counting the cicadas that never made a sound.

Because now it is dark it is really dark and I just hope I make through the night.

I just hope I make it through the night.

I just hope I make it through the night.


It feels like I can't

IT FEELS LIKE I CAN’T (D G D G B E, capo 2)

 


Open my chest like a cupboard full of things we bought years ago and forgot about.

Close every door you can but leave the windows just enough for someone to climb through.

It feels like I can’t but it’s just my mind playing tricks.

I hop over a puddle and it starts to rain.

I stayed in the water until my legs weren’t sore and when I got to the beach everyone had changed.

And it feels like I can’t but it’s just my mind. It feels like I can’t.


Waiting for my boy to come back to me
