Every Cause Is A Concern

[Verse 1] Bones start cracking in daylight Smell of desperation reeks Eyes like butter melt in the sun I think I reached my physical peak I walked in on a bad night Mouth full of grit and heat Your eyes said "stay awhile" Mine said "I can’t retreat" [Pre-Chorus] And I know I know the taste Of a promise gone thin Still I lean Still I lean When the world caves in [Chorus] Every cause is a concern Every cause is a concern Light me up, let me burn Light me up, let me burn Crackerjacks in the rain Crackerjacks in the rain Holes in the pants, dirt on the boots But I’m still standing here for you [Verse 2] I kept my hands in my pockets Like a kid with a stolen spark Counting cracks in the sidewalk Trying to make a mark You called my name like trouble Like you knew my blood ran fast I laughed through the hard parts Then I let the silence pass [Pre-Chorus] And I know I know the cost When the easy roads split Still I lean Still I lean I don’t quit [Chorus] Every cause is a concern Every cause is a concern Light me up, let me burn Light me up, let me burn Crackerjacks in the rain Crackerjacks in the rain Holes in the pants, dirt on the boots But I’m still standing here for you [Bridge] If I go down, I go loud If I crack, I crack bright All this mud on my collar Still I’m ready for the fight [Final Chorus] Every cause is a concern Every cause is a concern Light me up, let me burn Light me up, let me burn Crackerjacks in the rain Crackerjacks in the rain Holes in the pants, dirt on the boots But I’m still standing here for you
