"Glass Jar" lyrics

"Glass Jar"

I'm digging through my mind for bits of happiness
I'm shuffling the good thing to the top
I'm tryna find the ones of me and you, dad
But I can't make something appear from what is not
Oh, I've been searching for the ones of me and you, dad
But I can't make something appear from what is lost

I found a photograph when you were younger
You were standing by a beat-up Chevrolet
A cigarette was pinched between your fingers
And you had that steady look upon your face

I never knew you I tried to but
You wouldn't let me in
All of the questions I had will just
Live in a glass jar
Somewhere on a shelf inside my head

Being young is never all that easy
It takes so long to figure out a plan
You're living inside someone else's body
And you're running from the devil when you can

I never knew you, I tried to but
You wouldn't let me
All of the questions I had will just
Live in a glass jar
Somewhere on a shelf inside my heart

Inside my heart
Inside my heart
Ah, inside of my heart
