There's guitars ringin'
now from the top floor
of this house
That I will learn to rest
my soul inside
Be still, be quiet,
this world's a giant
That I don't feel like
facing tonight
I don't have the words
yet, I'll smoke a
cigarette
Even though she'll
smell it on my breath
I say I want kids even
though I can't quit
The things that
make me childish
It ain't all bad, the
windows are cracked
I came down to hear
you laughin' in the
kitchen, babe
Let's pour some wine,
there's still a little time
And maybe a little bit
left in me to save
Be still, be quiet,
this world's a giant
And I ain't ever had
myself a David's heart
I'll say sorry to God for
all the trouble I caused
Maybe that's a good
place for me to start
You're beholden
to no holders, boy
I heard breathin' in this
world is the thief of joy
Better off fightin'
than you are dead
The time for rest ain't
now 'cause the kids
need fed
The time for rest ain't
now 'cause the kids
need fed
Guitars ringin' now from
the top of that house
We used to rest
our souls inside
Nothing lasts,
memories pass
Think of home on
an August night
There's reasons to go,
reasons to stay
Just know you'll
fear it all anyway
Be still, be quiet,
this world's a giant
Maybe there's a
little bit left to save
You're beholden
to no holders, boy
I heard breathin' in this
world is the thief of joy
But you're better off
fightin' than you
are dead
The time for rest ain't
now 'cause the kids
need fed
The time for rest ain't
now, cause' the kids
need fed
