T Bone Burnett - Again Today lyrics

Broken sticks and broken stones Will turn to dust just like our bones It's words that hurt the most now isn't it Are you sad inside, are you home alone If I could just pick up the phone Maybe you could see a better day And you won't waste away Under my watchful eye Because I'm your hero and you're my weakness Who's gonna break my fall When the spinning starts The colors bleed together and fade Was it ever there at all Or have I lost my way The path of least resistance Is catching up with me again today I'm broken down, not good enough The broken promises add up To twice their weight in tears which I have caused I'm afraid to sink, I'm afraid to swim I'm sad to say I miss my friends I know that I'm supposed to step away But they need me to stay and keep a watchful eye On all my heroes and all their demons But who's gonna break my fall When the spinning starts The colors bleed together and fade Was it ever there at all Or have I lost my way The path of least resistance Is catching up with me again Not today Not today Was it ever there at all And have I lost my way The path of least resistance Is catching up with me again today Broken sticks and broken stones Will turn to dust just like our bones again today I'm broken down Not good enough The broken promises add up again today Was it ever there at all And have I lost my way The path of least resistance Is catching up with me again today Again today
