Karen Jonas - Don't Blink Honey

for all you're supposed to give and what you stand to gain
it's a losing game, you know, a losing game
you work your whole damn life and still you never win
it's a losing game, you know, a losing game
but in between the place you start and where you land
that's your whole life really
you get by, barely
so hold your baby tight
you make hard calls
and you stumble
and you close your tired eyes
to sleep at night

we start off starry-eyed and aiming at the sun
we want it all, you know, i wanted it all
by and by it's gravity that leaves you on the ground
it's a struggle at best, sometimes i struggle
but it's on your back you look up and see the stars
that's your whole life, really
you get by, barely
so hold your baby tight
you make hard calls
and you stumble
and you close your tired eyes
to sleep at night

don't blink honey ‘cause you'll miss something

the world keeps turning and you'll miss something
and there's no time to waste
that's your whole life, really
you get by, baby
you can't get out alive
you get humbled and you're grateful
and you close your tired eyes
to sleep at night
for all you're supposed to give and what you stand to gain
it's a losing game, you know, a losing game
