Lyrics

Keep your own time
You know, I wasn’t gonna be much better
You call a spade a spade
You gotta shield yourself from stormy weather
An onslaught of cynical people, baby
& I’m not
I never was

It’s not gonna be easy, babe
You’re not gonna believe it
When you shake off
what’s weighing down heavily
But it’s not gonna be easy

Call it a farce
You drop down, take it to the limit
Ya know ya, can’t lose a fight if you take
cover or abandon it
An onslaught of noise in the background, babe
What you’ve got, don’t let it fade

This beautiful song is my favorite one on this album. For me, it’s about being patient in trying to push through difficult times in a relationship - accepting that two people inevitably “have to shake off what’s weighing” them down. Also, overcoming modern cynicism in society and be willing to work through these things.

my favorite track on this album. beauty in simplicity. powerful and profound.
