Listening to red house
Em
Sitting in my white shirt

When I thought about the grass stains
Thought about the red dirt.

It's funny when Spring blooms
Em
The funny way the birds sing

I always think I'm gonna sing too
But I forget the melody.

La, da, da, da.

La, da, da, da.

Or something like that.

So here it is.

You're nothing till you try to be

Nobody needs saving
Just a little bit of empathy.
