I Know

Every. Morning. 5:30am. AND ALL DAY LONG.

Birdie Alarm Clock

I like to dedicate this song to the committee in my head. :-)

LYRICS
Keep telling me about the lonely
Keep telling me about the scared
Keep telling me that it don’t matter
and that you don’t really care

Keep telling me that you’re too tired
Keep telling me that it won’t work
Keep telling me you had the vision
But your boss was such a jerk

I will hear you out, when you’re filled with doubt

Keep telling me that it won’t happen
Keep telling me that you’re too broke
Keep telling me that love’s for suckers
and how your life is one big joke

You don’t need a Cinderella ending
Just enough to pay your debts
Why’d they fill our heads with fairy tales
If this is what we get?

Keep telling me about your passion
Keep telling me about your dreams
Keep telling me your tiny secrets
And how far off they seem

Tell me one good thing, just one good thing about today

I can’t tell you it’ll change tomorrow
I can’t tell you it’ll change next year
But if a spark could be ignited
Or you could stare down one small fear

Would you tell me one good thing, just one good thing

Come on, there’s one good thing about today

Keep Telling Me

I wrote this last summer in Texas during the super hot summer and wildfires there.  The host of one of the open mics I was going to put a challenge out for all of us to come back the following week with a rain song, in hopes that everyone singing it at the same time would bring the rain.  Seems like I've been finding more reasons to sing it this summer as well, including for Colorado, a state special to me as I lived there for a while after college and I've been visiting it each summer for the past five years.
