hard telling

I’m counting on you

One push and it’s due to break through

Play out like you knew

It was all gonna do

Keep calling my name

Tell me it ain’t all for the fame

Sideways you can claim

That you’re playing the game

CHORUS

Hard telling, not knowing

Hard working when the seams aren’t showing

Some secrets, gonna keep it all to yourself

Come crawling, everybody’s 

Come calling with the engine running

It’s hard telling, not knowing


Tom Ford or tattoos

Backwoods or the blues, you can choose

Still far from the truth

But close enough to confuse

Top shelf or the well

Turns out it’s the same if it sells 

Down halfway to hell

It’s never easy to tell
