State of Affairs / Greatest Joy Lyrics

Well I've been off away from you dear, life got hard, head got clear

I don't drink wine but I still drink beer from time to time

Baby don't give up on me, don't give up on me

I've got my head in love with you but the state of affairs has got me too

A civil war potently brews in idle minds with no complacency

Baby don't give up on me

I struggle these days to consume news like a never has it ever ended

Unhealing bruise making love to my ego singing do do do do do do dee

Baby don't give up on me

And I'm sorry if it hurts as I drag you along saying it ain't me babe no

The world is wrong, take my love for you put it all in a song instead of

Showing you directly, cause there the world can see

Baby don't give up on me

You're my greatest joy

I remember what it was to be a boy when I'm around you

You're my greatest joy

Called nine one one yesterday, they said help was on it's way

I drove by all sunny day but looking back it ain't that clear to me

Don't give up on me

There's been dishes sitting in the sink for days I put them there to keep

Them out the way but every time I walk by and I see them dishes

Sitting in the sink, all I think is they been in the way the whole time

I'm still figuring things out bout myself, write me all down

Stick me on a shelf, forget about me until I'm in hell

Then I pick me back up and I read and I remember who I am

Baby don't give up on me

Our society's painting pretty portraits girl of picture perfect people

In a perfect picture world but inside my big old bumbly blue brain

It's all blurry, see I could never tell a person from a portait dear

Oh baby don't give up on me

You're my greatest joy

I remember what it was to be a boy when I'm around you

You're my greatest joy

And I know we may not always talk

Sometimes you're telling me to walk

I swing at pitches you throw a balk

Through it all I think I see

Baby don't give up on me

I'll be missing you all good and hard

Hoop on your waist dog in the yard

But I'll leave you be right where you are

Cause that's what you asked me to do

And I won't give up on you

You're my greatest joy

I remember what it was to be a boy when I'm around you

You're my greatest joy
