The Revivalists - Get it Honest

The Revivalists - Get it Honest 

Well, I'm so bored, so bored with being sober 
Maybe I'll go downtown, to some bar down on Decatur 
And I'll drink 'til I remember, I'll drink 'til I get caught
While my lover cries and my soul leaves the dock 

Oh, I love New Orleans but this city's got my number 
And every chance she gets lord she tries to take me under 
Cause it's hard to leave your past and it hurts to wanna wander 
But I guess that's what I get for making lightning from the thunder 

But I can't say what I wanna say 
While these four walls surround me 
I know you feel like I do 
You wanna change but you're scared too 

Leaning on my alibi 
Broken on the inside 
I know you feel like I do 
You wanna change but you're scared too 

So I'll ask you to forgive me 
Cause I haven't called my mother 
The truth is I'm not busy, I've just been under the weather 
Don't ask about my father, what his father did to him 
There's always a little trauma comin’ up around the bend 

Oh I'm running in the night to avoid what's really there 
Oh, I got it honest from my anxiety to my hair 
Cause it’s hard to leave your past, and it hurts to wanna wander 
I guess that's what I get for chasing lightning with the thunder 

But I can't say what I wanna say 
While these four walls surround me 
I know you feel like I do 
You wanna change but you're scared too 

Leaning on my alibi (but I can't say what I wanna say) 
Broken on the inside (with these four walls around me) 
I know you feel like I do (I know you feel like I do) 
You wanna change but you're scared too 
You wanna change but you're scared too 

And I can't relate to my past 
These faces and places I pass 
All made who I am today 
I'm changing and breaking away 
I'm lonely as I've ever been 
Smiling through everythin’ 
I know you feel like I do 
The stranger in me is you
