Minute Songs: Pretty/Brave

you always thought you were so self-reliant
till you found yourself sitting in the house of giants
at the edge of every wrong word
the balance might break
open up the wounded
admit your mistakes

and it's pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty tonight
hanging by the backdoor waiting round for lightning to strike

give me that moment you've been holding onto
for your whole goddamn life
it's gonna be that kinda night
and it's one bottle two bottles three bottles five

the dice rolls and their eyes all come back empty
I'm walking home alone to songs that you sent me
I'm taking bets from the bench
and measuring out the stakes
on if tonight's the night I'll finally be brave

and it's pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty the lights
of the carousel as it turns and passes by

give me that moment you've been holding onto
for your whole goddamn life
it's gonna be that kinda night
and it's one bottle two bottles three bottles five

my fist is at the ready
clenched with pretty little secrets to hide
and it's one bottle two bottles three bottles five

naked and clumsy these fingers won't find their footing
your pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty voice will be my undoing
