"Get It Honest" lyrics

Well, I'm so bored, so bored with being sober
Maybe I'll go downtown, to some bar down on Decatur
And I'll drink 'til I remember, I'll drink 'til I get caught
While my lover cries and my soul leaves the dock

Oh, I love New Orleans but this city's got my number
And every chance she gets lord she tries to take me under
Cause it's hard to leave your past and it hurts to wanna wander
But I guess that's what I get for making lightning from the thunder

But I can't say what I wanna say
While these four walls surround me
I know you feel like I do
You wanna change but you're scared too

Leaning on my alibi
Broken on the inside
I know you feel like I do
You wanna change but you're scared too

So I'll ask you to forgive me
Cause I haven't called my mother
The truth is I'm not busy, I've just been under the weather
Don't ask about my father, what his father did to him
There's always a little trauma comin' up around the bend

Oh I'm running in the night to avoid what's really there
Oh, I got it honest from my anxiety to my hair
Cause it's hard to leave your past, and it hurts to wanna wander
I guess that's what I get for chasing lightning with the thunder

But I can't say what I wanna say
While these four walls surround me
I know you feel like I do
You wanna change but you're scared too

Leaning on my alibi (but I can't say what I wanna say)
Broken on the inside (with these four walls around me)
I know you feel like I do (I know you feel like I do)
You wanna change but you're scared too
You wanna change but you're scared too

And I can't relate to my past
These faces and places I pass
All made who I am today
I'm changing and breaking away
I'm lonely as I've ever been
Smiling through everythin'
I know you feel like I do
The stranger in me is you
