lyrics
I’m starting to believe it’s magic
When somebody can’t imagine
If it didn’t happen to you
It doesn’t make it less true
I know it’s an act to try and balance
Commiseration and empathic absence
Lean too hard on either side and we’ll all have a real bad time
But it’s all just part of a plan
Just try and do the best that you can
And know that everything that happens
Is for some goddamn good reason
I’m still thinking of a way to say it
That won’t just come off as so outdated
Do unto others still might fit unless you treat yourself like shit
But if it’s all just part of a plan
I’ll try and do the best that I can
And hope that everything that happens
Is for some goddamn good reason
Sometimes life feels like being on late night drive
Where someone’s taken the exit signs
Replaced your headlamps with flashlights
And you’re just trying to get somewhere and not die
But it’s all part of a plan
Just try and do the best that you can
Pretend that everything that happens
Is for some goddamn good reason
When somebody can’t imagine
If it didn’t happen to you
It doesn’t make it less true
I know it’s an act to try and balance
Commiseration and empathic absence
Lean too hard on either side and we’ll all have a real bad time
But it’s all just part of a plan
Just try and do the best that you can
And know that everything that happens
Is for some goddamn good reason
I’m still thinking of a way to say it
That won’t just come off as so outdated
Do unto others still might fit unless you treat yourself like shit
But if it’s all just part of a plan
I’ll try and do the best that I can
And hope that everything that happens
Is for some goddamn good reason
Sometimes life feels like being on late night drive
Where someone’s taken the exit signs
Replaced your headlamps with flashlights
And you’re just trying to get somewhere and not die
But it’s all part of a plan
Just try and do the best that you can
Pretend that everything that happens
Is for some goddamn good reason

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up.

These tracks are straightforward and concise, never relying on gauzy metaphors to complicate her declarations of love.
