Consolation

It's all so bright

These blossoms on the

Pavement look so nice

It's sad to see them fall

But it's alright

I guess you got to go

Sometime

It's everyone

Thrown tendrils to the

Wind we reach for sun

No thought for what could

Be or damage done

Just to feel alive for once

Let's just sit a while and watch the cars go by

Maybe save the talking for another time

I just want to make it to a better day

I wonder where they go to make it all okay

Some consolation

Looking back

I wonder when the ties

Began to slack

You can't help the way

You grow and that's a fact

Been looking for the holes

But not the cracks

And so we sing

Raised voices to the sky,

Echoing

Just waiting for the cops to

Stop this thing

The inevitable reckoning

Let's just sit a while and watch the cars go by

Maybe save the talking for another time

I just want to make it to a better day

I wonder where they go to make it all okay

Some consolation

Some consolation

Give me consolation

A little bit of consolation

And the girls are fine

And the guys are fine

And the love is real

As the faith is blind

And the bills are paid

With the payment due

And the blood is red

But the heart is blue

And the mondays come

And the fridays go

And you believe and hope

But you never know

And still every scar

Has a job to do

To warn you about me

And to warn me about you, about you

Let's just sit a while and watch the cars go by

Maybe save the talking for another time

I just want to make it to a better day

I wonder where they go to make it all okay

Some consolation

Some consolation

Give us consolation

A little bit of consolation
