about

Breezy banjo tune with tips on how to survive a breakup.

lyrics

This is my house this is your car
This is my dog how did we get so far away
From our original romantic intentions

Can't take lightly or contritely
The conclusion that illusion
Has been the glue to this relationship for awhile

And I am moving to a higher state of mind
Gonna take the good and leave the rest behind

All of my friends criticize you
They don't see I realize you
Have got to listen to the beat of your own heart and not mine

Found your soulmate
Isn't that great
What were we then
Just a mistake
Or were you practicing to get it just right for her

And I am moving to a higher state of mind
Gonna take the good and leave the rest behind

Higher into the great unknown
Higher I'll make it on my own

I was thinking instead of drinking
What a good time to catch some sunshine
Maybe spend a little quality time with me

Instead of bitter I'll get fitter
Breathe in fresh air let my despair
Shed some light on another damn growth opportunity

And I am moving to a higher state of mind
Gonna take the good and leave the rest behind
And I am moving to a higher state of mind
Gonna take the good and leave the rest behind
