Downright Ol' Blues

Verse 1
Depression strokes my hair
Can't believe this love affair with you
As we try to pull ourselves down

Disappointments and regrets
We love 'em like they're our pets
But they don't stop to haunt me
In my sleep

Baby, I am tired of being weak

Chorus 1
There ain't a solution
For our imperfections
If we're angles
Then we've got no wings

Our broken storyline
Makes sense when it doesn't rhyme
So, we write a song
And we start to sing

'Bout our downright ol' blues

Verse 2
I'm midway my uphill climb
But the ground seems a comfy sight
That I'm tempted to roll down
And stay there

Maybe, I'm all tired of being weak
I'm not the man with the strong suit that you seek
Just a frightened little boy, afraid to speak
A piece of a puzzle where I don't fit

Bridge
Hey, hey, hey
I'm calling out
Wake, wake, wake
All the kids with broken hearts
Hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey
You're not alone
So, wake, wake, wake
All the people with golden hearts
Hey, hey

Chorus 2/Ending
There is a solution
For our imperfections
If we're sinners
He can make us saints

Our broken storyline
Is a candlelight that shines
So, we write a song
And let the whole world sing

'Bout our downright ol' blues
