Jacky Bryan

Back in the heartland
When they said you were growing up
You were already dying
Then you were older
In the woods, they told you nothing was real
But they were surely lying
'Cause you were born with a heart of golden slush
And a mind to rely on
You never thought that this unexpecting rock
Would be the planet you’d die on
To all the strangers I’ve kissed
And all the ones that I’ve missed
My name is Jacky Bryan
And if you’re hearing this now
It means I’m already gone
But let’s not waste time crying
Way back when solitude was just a word you’d heard
And not a thought you’d consider
There was a time that your home was beautiful
And now your home has gone bitter
All of the voices
All of the human girls
All of the voices
Talking about starting a new world
Beautiful
There are trees coming out of the ground
Wonderful
In all of earth, not a discordant sound
Beneath the radio waves
In a time of terror and a swing phase
And girl, it’s trying hard to change her
There was a time she felt alive
And then the world was on fire
And she was kissing strangers
But in the end, she knows she doesn’t mean much
And oh, she can’t explain why she’s crying
Out in the meadow and no one wants to talk
And heaven knows that she’s trying
All of the voices
All of the human girls
All of the voices
Talking about starting a new world
Beautiful
There are trees coming out of the ground
Wonderful
In all of earth, not a discordant sound
All of the voices
All of the human girls
All of the voices
Talking about starting a new world
Beautiful
There are trees coming out of the ground
Wonderful
In all of earth, not a discordant sound
