Testo Bills On The Table - Hackeboda
Testo della canzone Bills On The Table (Hackeboda), tratta dall'album Ghosts,Highways & Whiskey
There's a window over the sink that won't close right anymore
Cold air slipping in like it knows what we can't afford
You said you'd call the handyman, I said give it one more week
We've been saying that for months now, neither one of us can speak
There's a stack of envelopes I don't open all the way
Just enough to see the numbers, then I push them out of frame
Coffee's gone to half a cup, we stretch it like we do
Funny how a life gets smaller without telling you
I saw you counting coins last night like it was something new
You used to laugh at things like that, now you barely move
There's a silence in the evenings that we don't break anymore
Not because we're mad at each other... just tired to the core
I keep thinking 'bout the man I said I'd be back then
Before the hours got longer and the money got thin
Now I measure out my worth in what I couldn't bring
And every "it's okay" you say feels like it stings
There's bills on the table and dust in the light
And a life we keep holding together too tight
We don't scream, we don't fight, we just carry it through
Like breaking in silence is stronger than truth
There's love in this house, I know that it's real
But love doesn't pay for the things that we need
So we sit in the dark when the power runs low
With bills on the table... and nowhere to go
You fell asleep on the couch with the TV still on
Some late-night preacher saying where faith belongs
I turned it down so slow it wouldn't wake you up
You looked peaceful for a second... God, that felt like enough
I stood there in the hallway like I didn't belong
In the life that I built but somehow got wrong
And I thought about leaving just to feel in control
But I couldn't take one step without losing it all
There's bills on the table and weight in your eyes
And words we don't say 'cause we're too damn tired
We don't blame, we don't break, we just bend till we bruise
Like holding it in is the only thing we choose
There's love in this house, buried under the strain
In the cracks of the walls and the sound of your name
And I'd give you the world if I knew how to start
But all I got right now... is this tired heart
Maybe we're not failing
Maybe this is just what it is
Maybe nobody's coming to save us
Maybe nobody ever did
There's bills on the table but you're still here
And that's worth more than anything I fear
We ain't lost, we ain't gone, we're just harder to see
In the weight of the life that we're trying to be
So I'll stay in this moment, I won't let it fall
Even if I can't fix a damn thing at all
If survival's the best that we know how to do
Then I'll sit at this table
Right here next to you
