She was staring out the kitchen door She closed her eyes as I crossed the floor In the last embers of the day She said I'm bone tired of being brave being brave We piled it up and we lit a match Let it all burn down to smoke and ash A dumpster fire out there on the lawn We let it burn until it all was gone All was gone A little relief couldn't come too soon Waiting on fate to change its tune But it seems I've been throwing Just throwing rocks at the moon I sat for months with an empty page Didn't want to but finally forgave In a cloud of dust, you drove away I couldn't say goodbye I only waved Only waved A little relief couldn't come too soon Waiting on fate to change its tune But it seems I've been throwing Just throwing rocks at the moon I've tried to work hard out run or out smart End the book before I read the middle part But every new twist and every scene Took me somewhere I needed to be I don't know yet what this all means Maybe someday it will be redeemed That's the long and the short of it A good song usually hurts just a little bit You asked me why why me or you? I said why not? You said I guess that's true It's easy to be lost as to be found I guess it's time to lay these old rocks down Lay them down A little relief couldn't come too soon Waiting on fate to change its tune But it seems I've been throwing Just throwing rocks at the moon A little relief couldn't come too soon Waiting on fate to change its tune But it seems I've been throwing Just throwing rocks at the moon
