about

A whimsical song about waking up out of one life and looking for another.

lyrics

Bucket of Nails

You woke up hung over and stale
All the fairy tales left you by the road
When you leave the stories behind
And make up your mind
You'll let them all go

But it's not hard to keep saying yes
Put on your party dress a smile on your face
You just go somewhere in your head
Do what they said and wait for some grace

When you dream you dream of going away
But it's so easy to stay so easy to fall
When you wake it's just another day
Already tangled and frayed you can't pull it apart

But it's not hard to keep saying yes
Put on your party dress a smile on your face
You just go somewhere in your head
Do what they said and wait for some grace

You went down like a bucket of nails
Right off the rails a train off the tracks
When you pick yourself off the floor
And walk to the door don't ever look back

Cause it's too hard to keep saying yes
Take off your party dress the sun on your face
You just get yourself out of bed
Don't do what they said and look for some grace, grace, grace
