Are you ever gonna feel like you belong
With your sour notes through your sweetest song
Afraid somebody’s shining a spotlight on
All you dreamt you were due in the dark
Are you ever gonna let the sweet breeze in
The windows you closed unbolted again
And let the uneasy feeling float off in the wind
And realize that you’ve come for far
The day is here the time is now
You’ve got to find a little light
through the fog somehow
Pick your battles choose your spot
You’ve only got one life to live
Give it all you’ve got
You’re eight hundred miles away again
From something resembling settling in
With your frenzied mind and too few friends
You lie that you like it that way
Will you ever be good enough for yourself
Instead of tied up trying to please everyone else
Chipping away at your chance your heart and your health
You dream it will be different someday
The day is here the time is now
You’ve got to find a little light
through the fog somehow
Pick your battles choose your spot
You’ve only got one life to live
Give it all you’ve got
When you’re feeling mean and in-between
Last year’s model and an empty bottle
Starting over don’t come with a guarantee
But sitting still when you know that it’s over
Is sad when you’re just one step closer
To settling for something less than your life could be (don’t settle!)
The day is here the time is now
You’ve got to find a little light
Through the fog somehow
Pick your battles choose your spot
You’ve only got one life to live
Give it all you’ve got
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
