about

Written / Recorded by The American Plains

lyrics

You're showing cracks
In your foundation
What once was so secure
Seems a chisel away
From crumbling

But let's retrace our decisions
And our mistakes
We turn it around
100 times
To try to pin the blame
But let's retrace
Our decisions
And our mistakes
When there's no answer
To ease what
Was taken away

Better days
They push further and further away

60 years this has been a home
Pick up what's left on your own
We build routines to make it easy to be alone

The stairs are worn to weakness
Just enough to hold
The cupboards that used to touch the sky
Have rusted over time
The house may be standing
But it gets
Harder to see

Every time
I'll carry the weight
Every time
I'll carry the weight
I'll carry the weight
Every time

We'll all see
This won't be
Kept up over time
We'll slide back
To When
We were comfortable
The burden is passed
So casually
