Give Us a Break - The Slickers

Just get your feet to touch the floor Slowly remember what you woke up for Take in the silence for a minute more One breath is more than we could ask for Might help to write yourself a list A couple of friends you're glad you have today And don't forget to give yourself a little grace We were never meant to live this way Hurricanes and wars being waged Will our species be erased Surely all these worries betray How they change your life today So when you feel afraid, like everything won't be okay Take a breath and just address what's here today Don't eat the whole damn cake, just take a piece and walk away That's plenty existential questions for a day Give yourself a break I bet your words could change the world May even shift the course of history But it's okay if you don't write a word today Humans don't refuel with gasoline Sturdy work is fading away Will I somehow be replaced Worry for the bills to be paid Never made them go away So when you feel afraid, like everything won't be okay Take a breath and just address what's here today Don't eat the whole damn cake, just take a piece and walk away That's plenty existential questions for a day Give yourself a break Use your heart, don't think so hard Let the stars and skies align you So when the lofty words don't work And when you walk away confused from church Just let your body draw your spirit to the earth You can rest a little, give yourself a break

The day I first met you You told me you'd never fall in love But now that I get you I know fear is what it really was Now here we are, so close yet so far Haven't I passed the test When will you realize baby, I'm not like the rest Don't wanna break your heart wanna give your heart a break I know you're scared it's wrong Like you might make a mistake There's just one life to live and there's no time to wait So let me give your heart a break Give your heart a break let me give your heart a break Your heart a break oh, yeah On Sunday, you went home alone There were tears in your eyes I called your cell phone, my love But you did not reply the world is ours If you want it we can take it If you just take my hand there's no turning back now Baby, don't you understand Don't wanna break your heart wanna give your heart a break I know you're scared it's wrong Like you might make a mistake There's just one life to live and there's no time to wait To waste so let me give your heart a break Give your heart a break Let me give your heart a break Your heart a break there's just so much you can take Give your heart a break let me give your heart a break Your heart a break oh, yeah yeah When your hand is in my hand And our hearts beat as one But you slip out of my fingertips Every time you run, whoa Don't wanna break your heart wanna give your heart a break I know you're scared it's wrong Like you might make a mistake There's just one life to live and there's no time to wait To waste So let me give your heart Cuz you've been hurt before I can see it in your eyes You try to smile it away some things, you can't disguise Don't wanna break your heart baby, I can ease the ache The ache so, let me give your heart a break Give your heart a break let me give your heart a break Your heart a break there's just so much you can take Give your heart a break let me give your heart a break Your heart a break oh yeah, yeah
