Restorations - The Cost

To Rate
You and I got tongue tied
We got it twisted
You and I got tongue tied
On no

Used to want to settle it
But something spooked the horses
And I don’t really know anymore
It’s a political sign
On a new construction home
And now you want to talk about trust
Used to want to settle it
Something so familiar
Just slipping through the holes in your hands

What’s it cost just to survive?
Just to get by

You and I got tongue tied
We got it twisted
You’re out watering the weeds
What do you even believe?

Used to want to settle it
In hung-over oblivion
Now we’re hardly hanging half the time
It’s a political cry
On the back of your car
In a 6th-floor parking garage
You work on making it work
