The February Sun Lyrics

All I ever wanted was to live my life and fall in love

I've all I ever wanted, all I wanted's not enough

So I toughen up and grit my teeth

My great white shark smile

The February sun sinks into dark

I sit and think a while

And write down my excuses for my grandkids to read

So they can live with the illusion that as I planted seeds

I knew just what I sowed

I hope that sunflowers and snap peas are all that I grow

But I know

That even if I watch the garden bed I may only get weeds

So I'll roll the and I'll smoke them and I'll let it in my head

And what will be will be

I never meant to plough along without a plan

And now it feels as though I'm drowning in my friend's sedan

When all I thought was gonna happen

Was I'd sit out in the yard

And strum along to campfire songs

And stare up at the stars

But now my cup is overflowing

Liquid's dripping through my hands

Oh, who the hell decided I should plough along without a plan?

Oh, Jesus Christ,

Just try to get your head on straight

You've gotta be up in the morning

Try not to stay up late

And I know

That I'll be tired when I wake up, even if I sleep

So I'll close my eyes and try to make my mind go blank

And what will be will be
