A song about coming to terms with the loss of a dream. The daze that accumulates after the initial impact has settled. The scar tissue that is grown over to protect a wound, in turn acts as its own living entity. A break up song.
lyrics
10TH STREET & NICOLLETT
Are you OK in there Drunk on Your Defenses
I need protection all I ever Feels Infected
I’m on 10th street trapped in this town that I live
and learn to forget never, ever learned to forgive
Sitting on the steps alone with Nicollet
Still can’t find the words U know me I’m a nervous wreck
Can’t say for sure when she stood up if I’d have guessed
She’d cross the room Climb inside of my T.V. set
We don’t know what is no, no, no we don’t know
We don’t know what is no no no we don’t know
If we don’t know what it is Can’t say how it began
How are we supposed to know if it had enough is the end
So I’m on 10th street trapped in this town that I live
and learn to forget never learned to forgive
Got these things I keep inside of me,
Most nights I push ‘em down deep, so deep down I can’t see
Kept me up glazed on the TV screen Juggling drugs, drums and dreams
Trying to figure out how she ever got to me
I’m 10th Street, So What If I can’t forgive
Wish My Way Out of this Clean Up the Mess
Nicollet We can overcome this
Nicollett We can overcome this
