Same Page from Mixtape by Daisy O'Connor

Last night at Licha’s, Leo was singing
We were looking famous and fool
Craigie was preaching
Saving me from reaching
Too high into an empty sky
He said what matters is right here
What matters is right now
What matters is that we’re in it together
Even when we’re alone on the ground

So girl give up that loneliness contest
No one’s ever gonna win
Forget how you wanted to run
Forget the why and when
Cuz we’re on the same page my friend
That’s right, we’re on the same page my friend

We’re done with Dave’s boxcar bullshit
He ain’t ever been on a train
Brother, show me your wounds
What, ya ain’t got none?
Was nothing worth the price of the pain?
Oh, I’m climbing a mountain
I’m digging a hole
Am i better or worse for the wear?
Finding blessings in the bullshit
Breathing carbon up with the air

And I’m trying to give up this loneliness contest
No ones ever gonna win
Trying to forget how I wanted to run
Forget the why and when
Cuz we’re on the same page my friend
That’s right we’re on the same page my friend

I could quit gigging and get a job
Turning in my time for the pay
Lock my body and soul in the prison of toil
I’m worse off when I stay
Or I could get bolder, and hit the road harder
I’m better with the come and go
Maybe we’ll always be minor poets
Maybe we’ll stay down low
Cuz we’re on the same page I know

Oh and I’m giving up this loneliness contest
No one’s ever gonna win
But I can’t forget how I wanted to run
Forget the why and when
Cuz we’re on the same page my friend
