lyrics

I take comfort in the cold hard truth of it
I take comfort in the getting over myself of it
When I let my pride drive I end up on the edge of the ledge
Take cover down below

When somebody else’s rising up feels like I fell
When somebody’s ocean overflowing dries up my well
I look to justice, she tells me to go to hell and try to see
Way worse things have happened
To way better people than me

It’s a big sky hanging there right over my head
Oh big sky keep letting me know instead of crying me a river, bringing in the violins
Take comfort in the panorama

When somebody else’s rising up feels like I fell
When somebody’s ocean overflowing dries up my well
I look to justice, she tells me to go to hell and so I can see
Way worse things have happened
To way better people than me

It’s a little sky, a little sky
Looking through small frames
Who am I, who am I?
Crying me a river, crying me a river when
Way worse things have happened
To way better people than me

When somebody else’s rising up feels like I fell
When somebody’s ocean overflowing dries up my well
I look to justice, she tells me to go to hell where I can see
Way worse things have happened
To way better people (x2)
To way better people than me
Then me
