Pearla – Effort Lyrics

Tomorrow you might be gone
So stand out on the lawn
Practice waving goodbye, courageous crane, fly
Tell me, what's the point of loving someone at all?

I'm small and I feel that way in the morning
Everyone's leaving the city for someplace pretty
And I'm lonely

I don't know why it takes so much effort to feel good these days
And I don't know why I'm still awake
Waiting for you

Blue swimming pool, clear carrots in the garden
Lamb's ear growing from the concrete
Brought you a pie one November in the evening
A certain sweetness only found in memory

So sweet that I have to remind myself
Oh, this feeling is fleeting
And I'm always somewhere else

I don't know why it takes so much effort to feel good these days
And I don't know why I'm still awake
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
I don't know why, but it takes so much effort to feel good these days
And I don't know why I'm still awake
Looking for something to do
What do I do?

Watch dumb tv, go for a walk
Write in a journal, stare at the clock
Call a friend, whisper
"Fuck you" to the world

I am spent
I am spent
I am spent
I am spent
I am spent
I am
