Jacky Bryan - Bend

Back in the heartland

When they said you were growing up

You were already dying

Then you were older

In the woods, they told you nothing was real

But they were surely lying

'Cause you were born with a heart of golden slush

And a mind to rely on

You never thought that this unexpecting rock

Would be the planet you’d die on

To all the strangers I’ve kissed

And all the ones that I’ve missed

My name is Jacky Bryan

And if you’re hearing this now

It means I’m already gone

But let’s not waste time crying

Way back when solitude was just a word you’d heard

And not a thought you’d consider

There was a time that your home was beautiful

And now your home has gone bitter

All of the voices

All of the human girls

All of the voices

Talking about starting a new world

Beautiful

There are trees coming out of the ground

Wonderful

In all of earth, not a discordant sound

Beneath the radio waves

In a time of terror and a swing phase

And girl, it’s trying hard to change her

There was a time she felt alive

And then the world was on fire

And she was kissing strangers

But in the end, she knows she doesn’t mean much

And oh, she can’t explain why she’s crying

Out in the meadow and no one wants to talk

And heaven knows that she’s trying

All of the voices

All of the human girls

All of the voices

Talking about starting a new world

Beautiful

There are trees coming out of the ground

Wonderful

In all of earth, not a discordant sound

All of the voices

All of the human girls

All of the voices

Talking about starting a new world

Beautiful

There are trees coming out of the ground

Wonderful

In all of earth, not a discordant sound
