Get Yourself Right

from Keep Talking by Laura Tsaggaris

lyrics

get yourself right

i would have you say aloud
only half to hear the sound
for that you solely wish away will learn to hang around

when you’re home and in your house
could this load be weighed in pounds?
when you wake, are things you can’t control the ones you think about?

just give yourself time to get your self right
i’ll watch you hold me up to the light
if first you went wrong, you’ll learn you just might not be afraid to keep open your eyes
cuz what you don’t know you know you can’t fight

if they could they’d make a crowd
how they’d work and rake the ground
it was always more than just enough to be the one they’d found

but now you hold me in your mouth
i’m a bird that could get out
how you hold me in your arms… how could i have a doubt?

i gave myself time to get my self right
i watched you hold me up to the light
it didn’t take long to learn you just might get what you pay for most of the time
but, if you don’t look, you know you won’t find
and what you don’t know… you can’t fight

so, give yourself time
