lyrics

I was hoping I’d fallen from grace
with the earth rushing hard at my face
there’s so much I’ve tried to erase

it’s just a little america
a little bit anxious
a little bit restless
a little bit thankless
a little bit reckless
when everything falls away
I fall away

I tried hard to let it all go
but I cling to my secrets
I’ve shown everything I meant to show
it’s the truth that defeats us
I was running from everything else

I’m just a little america
a little bit anxious
a little bit restless
a little bit thankless
a little bit reckless
when everything falls away
I fall away

if I follow you’re not alone
if I lead I will lead you home
to a bed in the undertone

if I take what I mean to give
if I tell you the things I did
if I die when I mean to live

it’s just a little america
a little bit anxious
a little bit restless
a little bit thankless
a little bit reckless
when everything falls away

it’s just a little america
a little bit anxious
a little bit thoughtless
a little bit thankless
a little bit reckless
when everything falls
and I’m tearing my heart
from the cracks in the walls

I’m a little america
a little bit empty
from holding my breath
and the notes that you sent me
I’m writing my letters
I’m singing for rain
and I hope you can hear me now

I hope you can hear me now
