lyrics

ON THE MEND
You’ve gotta fight the need to fix it
It was broken long ago
It’ll piece together from the inside
It’ll be a long while before it shows
Try not to turn your head away as ugly as it can be
You know the nights at its darkest
Just before the light ya see
Stretch your arms as wide as they go
Lean back and let the weight unfold
Put your head up and your armor on cuz it’s a whole lot to hold
It’s a long road to hoe it’s a whole lot to hold.

You can’t unbury a ghost and expect it to live
Sorry fire and brimstone
You can’t be born again
There aint choosing family
Cuz that’s reserved for friends
What they’ve been given just cracks on the mend

Stretch your arms as wide as they go
Lean back and let the weight unfold
Put your head up and your armor on cuz it’s a whole lot to hold
It’s a long road to hoe it’s a whole lot to hold.

Things are just things
Remember that less is always more
Find the place with good company and put your bags on the floor
These cracks they’ll mend one at a time and then you will see
If you fight the need to fix it
What will be will just be

Stretch your arms as wide as they go
Lean back and let the weight unfold
Put your head up and your armor on cuz it’s a whole lot to hold
It’s a long road to hoe it’s a whole lot to hold.
