Everything Is In Total Shambles

from Difficult To Like (demos) by David Safran

/

lyrics

I have no talent for happiness,
Or anything that takes places outdoors.
You’re irresistible to men, and yet
What you most want is ignored.

But this old romance that we do,
Long-loved or mishandled,
It gives us something to cling to
When everything’s in total shambles.

I feel like beachfront property
Sliding into the ocean.
I worry about wealth but honestly
I worry more about erosion.

And I count each breath and need you:
My first serious love and handful.
You give me something to cling to
When everything’s in total shambles.

There’s healing in my wings, too.
Or, rather, half-healing, half-scandal.
I give you something to cling to,
And everything is in total shambles.

I count each breath and miss you.
I imagine you with some man now.
And he comes to life again with you
When everything’s in total shambles.
