Head & Heart

from Some Days I'm a Lion by Tyler Stenson

/

about

A true folk/Americana ballad about being emotionally confused, with meandering mandolin and a singing organ. Ala Counting Crows, Ryan Adams, Matchbox 20, Dixie Chicks, Iron and Wine, Josh Ritter.

lyrics

Look at me walking this tightrope wire
And hovering above a red-hot coal fire,
Split down the middle with a definite seam—
Looking for a place where the Head and Heart agree.

Because lately, it seems I find no rest—
My Head is on my shoulders, but a mile from my chest
And my Heart pumps blood, but it just won't bleed—
Always pining for a place where the Head and Heart agree.

Head and Heart oh please,
Could you finally make your peace?
Do me right oh please,
And take me to the place where the Head and Heart agree.

Oh, nothing hurts more than a one-man war;
Both sides would die, but who knows what for?
Killing in the name of a nameless greed—
Man, there's gotta be a place where the Head and Heart agree.

Head and Heart oh please,
Could you finally make your peace?
Do me right oh please,
And take me to the place where the Head and Heart agree.

Gonna stick out my neck and let it be
A bridge to the place where the Head and Heart agree.
