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
