I’m trying to overcome
My lack of inspiration
Surrounded by ashes and crumbs
So full of hesitation
I’m starting to come undone
Held back by such frustration
I’ve got to cut loose and run
Hand in my resignation

D G F C
My trouble’s self inflicted
I’ve got to gain conviction
I simply can’t resist it
Confound this damn addiction
G C
I’m willing to take the leap
Embrace this affirmation
Somehow I can’t tell my feet
Tied by procrastination

D G F C
My trouble’s self inflicted
I’ve got to gain conviction
I simply can’t resist it
Confound this damn addiction

Oh the winter was hard on me
Froze my hopes and then shattered my dreams
I watched my love eyeing icy seas
Sadness pulled her away by degrees
C C7 F Fmin
Oh the graveyard it called to me
The only home that could hold my family
I felt their ghosts on a chilling breeze
While glowing frost lit their names on the marquees
C Emin F G
The sun will shine, it will shine again
Oh I know it will, but I can't say when
So while it's dark, and you need a friend
Oh, you call on me babe
Cause I'll call on you again
C C7 F Fmin
Oh I’m leaving, I’ve gone astray
Now don’t you look if the flag flies halfway
The sky is bright and I miss the grey
My heart has flown so my body can’t stay
C Emin F G
The sun will shine, it will shine again
Days are longer now, and the rain's set in
Buds will bloom, bees will buzz and then
Those forget-me-nots
Will remember us again

The sun is shining, it shines again
Not for me, but for passerines
I hear a song, from their beaks begin
Oh it won’t be her
But you’ll fall in love again

C C/F
I wish I could remember how to feel
Like before I learned to think
Cause yesterday I got a wink from anxiety
While sanity averted its gaze and slipped me a note
It said “Turn off your cell phone and tear up your to-do list”
My left brain has been multi-tasking so fast
There’s six cylinders of exhaust gunning out my right-side frown
See, I grin to the left
And that side had been slack since I planted forced ambition
It sprouted back boldly
But twisted, tangled, and confused
I won’t tend to rotting roots
When I can see the seeds of doubt
If this love is all I need then I refuse to live without
I’ll put dirt beneath my fingernails
I’ll make mud pies out of misery
I’ll grow a crocus for a brooch and then I’ll pin it to an atrium
Where it’ll pump life into my limbs
Where I’ll feel Spring inside my step again

F#min A
There are times when I despise what lies behind my eyes
And I feel trapped inside and tied by everyday routine
But to be constantly in awe of everything I see
Love is all I need
Love is all I need
No matter how rehearsed the verse is never twice the same
And as the seasons change I wonder why I still remain
Somewhere caught between the adolescent verse and the refrain
But love is all I need
Love is all I need
Can I defeat these seeds of doubt that sprout inside my mind?
And sow my own devoted only to the rhyme in time
Love is all I need
Love is all I need
Love is all I need
