I wish I could make time stand still
Rewind and take some things back
That I have squandered in my life
Like the innocence that I once had
I fell behind
Feels so long ago
And now it's hard to just make a buck
And find the will
To keep living my dream
Or the heart to even wake up
So carry me up this hill, some ol' angel
Lord lift me up
My spirit is breaking
Deal me a hand that's even worth playing
They sold me a lie
That life's what we make it

I spent January locked up
In a jail cell
On a cot they claim I made for myself
The only crime that I's truly guilty of
Was shitty council for my lack of wealth
It gets dark outside about five pm
The bottle's working, working all day
Smoothing out my highs and my lows
And even harder to take her away
So carry me up this hill, mighty angel
Lord, lift me up
My spirit is ill
Deal me a hand that's even worth playing
They sold me a lie
That life's what we make it
♪
So carrying me up this hill some ol' angel
Lord lift me up, my spirit is breaking
Deal me a hand that's worth fucking playing
Show me a road I haven't tried taking
I've worn out this lie
That life's what we make it
Some bullshit cliché
We're tricked into saying
'Till we're hurt or we're dying
And we turn to clay
So carry me up this hill some ol' angel
Lord lift me up
My spirit's so ill
Deal me a hand that's even worth playing
They sold me a lie
That life's what we make it
Nothing makes sense
You're stuck on a fence
Seeing off my last ship
With my face to the wind
I wish I could make time stand still
Rewind and take some things back
That I have squandered in my life
Like all the love that we used to have
