Once I knew it all I saw how much I had to learn
thinking whats the use in trying gif its all gonna burn
but of all these things I’m no longer concerned
see if you give a little something you’ll get something in return
you told me all along,
if only I had listened before I got it wrong
So you’re your repairs, trying to speak a little less
Cause nobody really cares about the ways that you’ve been blessed
How long you gonna carry round those ashes in that urn
if you give a little something, you’ll get something in return
you told me all along,
if only I had listened before I got it wrong
When the time comes, and the earth shakes
when the sun sets and the hand takes
aren’t we all going to the same place
so why not take it slow in case theres
nowhere else to go.
ain’t just lucky to be here to see what it is
all the love and the chaos and the coincidence
Praying for the patience for the trust
we have to earn
if you give a little something you get something in return

I have been out of the Wilco loop for a while now, but this album has pulled me back in. I adore it. Tweedy and co. know how to write gentle, heartfelt songs while adding just the right amount of unusual synth additions. The second half of the record ends INCREDIBLY strongly. If you've been out of Wilco for a while like me, check it out. BobandoCommando
