Orange County

by Jara Jones

lyrics

first verse
in the year before I left
I lived alone
just on the border
letting dust collect
no self respect
an emotional hoarder
I was calcified
drought from the tears
I cried
good friends I
pushed aside
when love is gone
and you're three hundred
pounds
and all is aching
you just hold tight
dream every night
the plans you're making
And if they did not land
end up upon this island
I'd have died by my own hand

chorus
every weekday
I'd drive into orange county
the culture of the office park
a bounty
upon my head
the seasons a bleached white bone
had my fill
of the pleasant folk
orange county
germinates
firm handshakes
and a static grin their keepsakes
it's heaven if you've got yours
if you don't get gone

second verse
in the year
before I left
I sold or gave away possession
head down
working sixty hours a week
walling off all the wild depression
didn't self-reflect
sever and disconnect
just made some money
to leave this town
when love is gone
and you're the serving class
who wrestles dishes
tends strangers daily
fakes a grin
and grants their wishes
heeds each couple's call
brings counsel
feeds them all
meanwhile you're starving your heart
you grind

chorus

bridge
just don't give up
mark it all down
you're older
you find
that the hell preaches wisdom
just don't give up
keep making time
the work's gonna save you
deep breath
keep your word true

every weekday
I'd drive into orange county
the culture of the office park
a bounty
upon my head
the seasons a bleached white bone
they're a bleached white bone
had my fill
of the pleasant folk
orange county
germinates
firm handshakes
and a static grin their keepsakes
it's heaven if you've got yours
if you don't get gone

if you don't get gone
Guess I best
get
gone
