There's guitars ringin' now from the top floor of this house That I will learn to rest my soul inside Be still, be quiet, this world's a giant That I don't feel like facing tonight I don't have the words yet, I'll smoke a cigarette Even though she'll smell it on my breath I say I want kids even though I can't quit The things that make me childish
It ain't all bad, the windows are cracked I came down to hear you laughin' in the kitchen, babe Let's pour some wine, there's still a little time And maybe a little bit left in me to save Be still, be quiet, this world's a giant And I ain't ever had myself a David's heart I'll say sorry to God for all the trouble I caused Maybe that's a good place for me to start
You're beholden to no holders, boy I heard breathin' in this world is the thief of joy Better off fightin' than you are dead The time for rest ain't now 'cause the kids need fed The time for rest ain't now 'cause the kids need fed
Guitars ringin' now from the top of that house We used to rest our souls inside Nothing lasts, memories pass Think of home on an August night There's reasons to go, reasons to stay Just know you'll fear it all anyway Be still, be quiet, this world's a giant Maybe there's a little bit left to save
You're beholden to no holders, boy I heard breathin' in this world is the thief of joy But you're better off fightin' than you are dead The time for rest ain't now 'cause the kids need fed The time for rest ain't now, the kids need fed
