This World's a Giant

There's guitars ringin' now from the top floor of this house

That I will learn to rest my soul inside

Be still, be quiet, this world's a giant

That I don't feel like facing tonight

I don't have the words yet, I'll smoke a cigarette

Even though she'll smell it on my breath

I say I want kids even though I can't quit

The things that make me childish

It ain't all bad, the windows are cracked

I came down to hear you laughin' in the kitchen, babe

Let's pour some wine, there's still a little time

And maybe a little bit left in me to save

Be still, be quiet, this world's a giant

And I ain't ever had myself a David's heart

I'll say sorry to God for all the trouble I caused

Maybe that's a good place for me to start

You're beholden to no holders, boy

I heard breathin' in this world is the thief of joy

Better off fightin' than you are dead

The time for rest ain't now 'cause the kids need fed

The time for rest ain't now 'cause the kids need fed

Guitars ringin' now from the top of that house

We used to rest our souls inside

Nothing lasts, memories pass

Think of home on an August night

There's reasons to go, reasons to stay

Just know you'll fear it all anyway

Be still, be quiet, this world's a giant

Maybe there's a little bit left to save

You're beholden to no holders, boy

I heard breathin' in this world is the thief of joy

But you're better off fightin' than you are dead

The time for rest ain't now 'cause the kids need fed

The time for rest ain't now, the kids need fed
