lyrics

I can’t ever keep my head above water
In a world where it always rains
There’s a lot of people out here drowning
But I know all the tricks of the trade
I keep filling a cracked cup
And I wonder why it slips away
Hope something comes from dwelling on failures
I think about them everyday

Had enough of bad luck and bad weather
It feels like I never get far
I gotta believe life’s gonna get better
Why else would it be this hard

Where all the times when it all lines up
And I feel like I can do no wrong
They’ve been here before, might have been a dream
Cause it feels like it’s been so long
And now all I can say for my days
At least they’re better than the nights
You might show me the right way honey
You can’t show me how to get it right

I had enough of bad luck and bad weather
It feels like I never get far
I gotta believe life’s gonna get better
Why else would it be this hard

You know I asked for help
Nobody heard me
If I ever stand up
Ain't no need to worry
Any ground I’ve gained
I’ll give it all back in a hurry

Maybe I’m just doing this wrong
And I’ll fix it when I try again
But you know I’ve heard it all before
And I always know how it ends

Had enough of bad luck and bad weather
It feels like I never get far
I gotta believe life’s gonna get better
Why else would it be this hard
I gotta believe life’s gonna get better

Hailing from Milwaukee, WI, the indie/folk/rock band’s music has been described as “intense, thoughtful songcraft”* with “lyrics so vivid you can practically touch them, (Haise) is among the finer storytellers”.
