lyrics

I look around a lot and ask myself,
"What good are good intentions, anyway?
"They often seem to lead to the same place
You might find had you been led astray."

And there are those among us who don't pull their hair out,
Scream or shout, for them
Injustice it is just as right as wrong
So if anybody wants me I'll be in the corner
Trying to get along

Should I be taken to extremes sometimes, well,
It should only serve to prove
That figuring yourself out sometimes means
Avoiding any sudden moves

Is my hyper-conscious self reflection evolutionary or just
First-world navel-gazing all in vain?
I don't know, but sometimes I suspect
It doesn't matter; it is all the same

It's not easy being easily undone
By nearly anything or anyone
So if the mood is just so, you'll be the first to know
And I, my dear, will be the first to go

Please don't take offense if I'm not
Making any sense or if I seem to fret
You see, I haven't figured out yet that if
One is not to sigh or pout, one must forget

And if my some great turn of fate, I have a
Date with destiny designed to
Rob me of my sense of right and wrong,
I'll kick my heels up, but until then I'll be
In the corner, trying to get along

The Brothers Restaino grew up playing music together but had never made original music together--until now. Older brother Stephen and younger brother Rich mine traditional American music to make songs about struggling to follow our better natures in a world that often asks for our worst. ... more
