Lyrics There's Always Something (feat. Hannah Read) - Alex Blue

I haven't landed
I guess the sky's my home
I'm like a goldfinch
But only when you look up
I'm there, always cloud, never branch
I fly, always breeze, never nest

I was a gold girl
Or maybe I don't know
Memories lie sometimes
Like the moon aglow
It's there, is it dark, is it bright?
Nothing but a trick of the light

But morning
The garden's calling
The birds are bathing
The weeds are green
Nothing is perfect
There's always something
A cat is huntin' while robins sing
A hand on my back
Someone who knows me
Something to tend to
Enrooting me

I saw a doctor
She drew a map for me
Labels and letters
Language of certainty
I know, but I don't, never did
Like dawn, it's a start, it's an end

But morning
Covered in linen
I draw the curtains
Sun on my face
The dust has gathered
There's always something
The news is breaking
My baby wakes
A hand on my cheek
Someone who loves me
Something to tend to
Enrooting me

Was I a fallout
Or was I born this way?
I paid a pretty penny
To ask my DNA
It gave me a gift full of gaps
Nothing but a trick of the past

But morning
Is always waiting
The day is asking
What will I say?
A question rattles
A goldfinch settles
There's always something
Enrooting me
