Inconsolable Lyrics by Katie Gavin
You said “stay with me, and we’ll fall asleep”
I was sitting on the couch and I put my hood up
Couldn’t let it be, couldn’t let you see
If I could’ve done better than you know I would’ve
Wanna say it first
But I don’t have the words
We’re from a long line of people
We’d describe as inconsolable
We don’t know how to be helped
Yeah we’re from a whole huddle of households
Full of beds where nobody cuddled
We don’t know how to be held
But I’ve seen baby lizards running in the river
When they open their eyes
Even though no one taught them how or why
So maybe when you kiss me I can let you
See me cry
And if we keep going by the feeling
We can get by
You do it, too, when you’re in a mood
You go hiding in your house tryna be your own savior
Why can’t you see I love you even
When you’re acting out on your worst behavior?
But I know why
You won’t let me inside
We’re from a long line of people
We’d describe as inconsolable
We don’t know how to be helped
Yeah we’re from a whole huddle of households
Full of beds where nobody cuddled
We don’t know how to be held
But I’ve seen baby lizards running in the river
When they open their eyes
Even though no one taught them how or why
So maybe when you kiss me I can let you
See me cry
And if we keep going by the feeling
We can get by
Yeah, if we keep going by the feeling
We can get by
