Nebraska Bricks - Saves The Day

And I grew up

On alcoholic evenings

And slow jazz music

To keep my heart beating

Because after all that happens

In a dissolving family

The need for a song to sing me to sleep still rings true

And I always knew that there wasn’t glue strong enough

To sew these roots together

And now that I’ve wasted too many years

And I’ve lost track of where I started

I have to dream at night of who I was and why

After twenty years of marriage

I am what is left and I’d like to go back now

And make myself up

Because I’d be a brick so I wouldn’t feel

And I’d lift myself up

I’d throw myself at this house

To break windows, smash walls

Just to keep time where it was and where it should be
