State of Affairs / Greatest Joy

Well I've been off away from you dear, life got hard, head got clear I don't drink wine but I still drink beer from time to time Baby don't give up on me, don't give up on me I've got my head in love with you but the state of affairs has got me too A civil war potently brews in idle minds with no complacency Baby don't give up on me I struggle these days to consume news like a never has it ever ended Unhealing bruise making love to my ego singing do do do do do do dee Baby don't give up on me And I'm sorry if it hurts as I drag you along saying it ain't me babe no The world is wrong, take my love for you put it all in a song instead of Showing you directly, cause there the world can see Baby don't give up on me You're my greatest joy I remember what it was to be a boy when I'm around you You're my greatest joy Called nine one one yesterday, they said help was on it's way I drove by all sunny day but looking back it ain't that clear to me Don't give up on me There's been dishes sitting in the sink for days I put them there to keep Them out the way but every time I walk by and I see them dishes Sitting in the sink, all I think is they been in the way the whole time I'm still figuring things out bout myself, write me all down Stick me on a shelf, forget about me until I'm in hell Then I pick me back up and I read and I remember who I am Baby don't give up on me Our society's painting pretty portraits girl of picture perfect people In a perfect picture world but inside my big old bumbly blue brain It's all blurry, see I could never tell a person from a portait dear Oh baby don't give up on me You're my greatest joy I remember what it was to be a boy when I'm around you You're my greatest joy And I know we may not always talk Sometimes you're telling me to walk I swing at pitches you throw a balk Through it all I think I see Baby don't give up on me I'll be missing you all good and hard Hoop on your waist dog in the yard But I'll leave you be right where you are Cause that's what you asked me to do And I won't give up on you You're my greatest joy I remember what it was to be a boy when I'm around you You're my greatest joy
