about

Ain’t No Use is a story about how hard it is to align our own needs in cadence with those close to us. About how sometimes we want something so much or for so long that it becomes our narrative, even if that want doesn’t fit with how we’ve changed. And about how our desire to win can lead us to some pretty weird places.

lyrics

There's no use cryin bout the things you lost
No use cryin bout the ones you tossed
Turn your head back now from where you came
Don't let the tame ones wear out your name

Lay your head down on my knee
Look me straight in the eye
I'll tell you one thing that I'll never be
It's good....
At saying goodbye

I felt shame for the things that I wanted
I felt maimed by the terrible drought
I caught you wishing on an old dead star
lying down in the back of your car

I marked you down as a lightweight
You knocked me out the first round
I still haven't learned one single thing
About how...
To keep you around

I know and I know and i know and I know
you'll come back to me
All terrible twos and a bruise on your face
Like I've never seen
I know and I know and i know and I know
you'll come back to me
I'll be the one leaving here
But Maybe not yet

I marked you down as a lightweight
You knocked me out the first round
I still haven't learned one single thing
About how...
To keep you around
