"trust exercises" lyrics

Focus on the good things
I hope the weather holds up, I hope I pull the heartstrings
Where you at? Where you hiding?
Focus on the real things
'Cause all my greatest heroes disappear into the air
Just like these smoke rings
But, trust me, you can handle these damages

And I called her up and told her
To be extra
Careful around the people that she loves, the people who affect her
Told her
We need exercise and trust
I don't want nothing except to protect her
Such a brief conversation
So much anticipation
Walking home from the station, such an awkward equation
Told her
To be extra
Careful around those she loves, yeah

Open up, you know you're family
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me
Don't stress, how bad can it be?
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me

And way back when we used to rock the Nikes with the hand-me-downs
Burn holes in all our favourite clothes, your mama's not around
I hope you keep your head in the clouds
Then maybe you could cope with these damages

And I called her up and told her
To be extra
Careful around the people that she loves, the people who affect her
The voices inside of your head just don't listen
'Cause they're tryna test ya
This isn't a test run, I've been here since day one

Open up, you know you're family
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me
(This isn't a test run)
Don't stress, how bad can it be?
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me
(This isn't a test run)
You can fall back on me

Back when all our problems were not problems
Back when we would medicate till we forgot them
And everything in good faith now
Back when you could reach me on the landline
01509, grandma put it down
Get me through this sad time
Everything in good faith

Open up, you know you're family
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me
Don't stress, how bad can it be?
This is a trust exercise, you can fall back on me
You can fall back on me
