Soft and frail
I rant and I rail
I get drunk, make a fool of myself
Blame it on the war we own and my mental health
You hold your liquor and take it so well
We do the most, put on a show
Heavens knows we’re both battered and stoned
Let’s leave the party and take off our clothes
We don’t have to touch, could just lay really close
Don’t go, leave me alone
Won’t you hold me babe, I don’t feel at home
Miles away, but I don’t mind the cold
It’s a funny thing, it’s some kind of joke
You smoke too much, and I’m scared you might die
And I joke too much, cause I’m scared I might cry
It’s the mess that we made babe, and no one gets by
But I call out your name just to hear it sometimes
Don’t go, leave me alone
Won’t you hold me babe, I don’t feel at home
Miles away, but I don’t mind the cold
It’s a funny thing, it’s some kind of joke
Turn down the lights, cover your eyes
Please go gently babe, I’m wounded and tired
But you call my name like the very first time
Now I’m small and defenseless and naked and shy
Don’t go, leave me alone
Won’t you hold me babe, I don’t feel at home
Miles away, but I don’t mind the cold
It’s a funny thing, it’s some kind of joke

The sweetness of the harmony and beauty of the tracks made me have to purchase this album. The vocals float like ethereal sprites with compelling warmness yet a certain captivating sadness as well. This is what Americana should sound like... this is what country should sound like... for it's so real and emotionally delivered... yet absolutely gorgeous. theexplodingogre
Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
