Push Comes to Shove

Spring/Summer 2006?

I’m pretty sure this one is also second year. Oh but ye gods is it bouncy, fast-tempo, and I’m pretty sure it wants to be bluegrass.

I woke up one morning, I was falling apart
So I pulled out the splinters and I picked up my heart
I woke up the next morning, I was falling in love
Believe what you need to when push comes to shove

‘Cause we’ve all got the strangest ideas in the night
And we’ve all got shades of gray
And some of us, well some of us, may wake up one fine morning
Falling, falling in love

I woke up one morning, I was losing my mind
So I shut all the doors and I lowered the blinds
Woke up the next morning I was losing my soul
Punched through the windows and jumped out the hole

Tore through Texas, skipped over Oklahoma
Had Carolina on my mind
And Missouri’s far too early to tell you the whole story
But the way I hear they found me deaf and blind

But we’ve all got the strangest ideas in the night
And we’ve all got shades of gray
And we’ve all got a chance to get a few things right
But maybe not quite in any old-fashioned way

I can’t say we know what we’re doing
Not sure we really even try
But maybe that’s the only way to keep ourselves from losing
And we do what we need to keep our dreams alive
