lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who is calling?
Got me running 'round, catching feels
Who's talking?
Got me running 'round, without no wheels

[Chorus]
If I would have met you, I
Wouldn't have worked no fields
The lights they stay on, but
Now you're soldiers still
How come it seem like we never build?
I been sleeping with lights on for weeks, an' I see ghosts still
See ghosts still

[Refrain]
And I don't know why, no I don't know why, love
No, I don't know why, I don't know why, love
Is hard

[Verse 2]
By the end of the week, I need pick-me-ups
Wagon wheels
By morning I swear that my breath is cut
Heart's been sealed
How's it feel, when winding road runs on?
I'm for real
It's hard when you get grown

[Chorus]
If I would have met you, I
Wouldn't have worked no fields
The lights they stay on
But am I your soldier still?
How come it seem like we nеver build?
I been sleeping with lights on for weeks, an' I can't see still
I don't know where to go

[Bridge]
I'vе been holding them out and begging my peoples to pull me out this hole
I don't want no love, I want a place to stay, somewhere to eat and a place that's home

[Refrain]
And I don't know why, I don't know why love is
I don't know why, I don't know why love is
I don't know why it's so hard

[Verse 3]
And what I'd do if someone ever came up on you
Use my butane, I'd use my crew
To do whatever I needed to
Nothing sinks, nothing moves
Ever since you came through

[Outro]
And I could tell why, I could tell why love is
I could tell why, I could tell why love is
I could tell why it's so hard
