Just passing time, wrapped up safe on the shelf
And I've lost my mind but I keep it to myself
A fool for my pride, I'm a hazard to my health
But it heals just in time so it's all just as well
I've made my own world and I'm doing just swell
It's pretty up here but it's lonely as hell
The truth is I'm fine and I lie so damn well
And I've fooled this whole town, but you could always tell
I don't say a word, you don't ask, you don't need to
I've known you some time now or maybe I've dreamed you
And if we’re all make-believe, just a figment of sleep
Can I be the girl of your dreams?
And I know I’m not much of a hand to hold
Just a bag of bones and a sad little soul
I never could quite catch a smile or a high for the show
And I swear that I tried, but I’m tired of just playing along
Won’t you spare me the time
Maybe stay here awhile and just talk
And darling you look tired, I’d like to hold you up awhile
And I know that I’m small but I could carry you for miles
Don’t know if I’d make it, but god knows I’d try
And if your world’s getting heavy, the weight is all mine
And all the things I’d like to say
But they’re no good and I’m afraid
Trying so hard not to get in the way
Oh, I know I’m not much of a hand to hold
Just a bag of bones and a sad little soul
I never could quite catch a smile or a high for the show
But you never did mind and I don’t have to try anymore
Won’t you stay here awhile
Lift this weight off my mind and just talk

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
