10 LYRICS
“I drive and drive and drive and drive
And think so hard about the news
That I don’t know how I reach my destination”
—Wendy Eisenberg
“The blues remembers everything the country forgot”

“Sitting in the dark
Dreaming up a song
Crying in my coffee
Doing it all wrong
Everybody knows, it's
Ordinary talk”

“It’s every season where it is I’m going
I stretch my bones out on the floor
I think I’ll really do the change”

Anyone can tell a lie
Anyone can fall in love
I'm not coming back this time
You can't run for your whole life
With two truths and a lie“

The spirits they stand with thee
With passion aroused we call
For tomorrow the people take all”

Fiona Apple: “I was recording myself trying. I wasn’t practicing and then recording—I was recording myself while I was trying to get it right. But I liked the way it sounded when I was trying. It felt like a real documentation of what was going on. It felt more honest.”
