Lately I’ve been wondering, what’s it all good for? Scrape and scrap and hustle like this life’s an endless chore I guess it’s possible to change, we weren’t meant to live this way, And I wish I could do less instead of more But I bit off more than I could chew And ohh, you know that’s always what I do I went out on ledge myself and I slipped off before I could reach out for help There’s just no escaping, I pile too much on my plate I’m not waving, I’m drowning, and it’s probably too late They make it sound so simple, just one tiny sentence, NO-- But it’s really not that easy and I really gotta go. I bit off more than I could chew Oh, you know that’s always what I do I went out on ledge myself and I’ll jump off before you could reach me for help Lately as I’m falling through the clouds and on the breeze I catch a glimpse of freedom while I’m crashing through the trees And in that one last moment, right before I hit the ground Truly nothing troubles me and I’d like to stick around But I bit off more than I could chew And oh, you know that that’s still what I do I, if I could take it back and stay You know I wouldn’t want it any other way You know I wouldn’t have it any other way I bit off more than I could chew And oh, you know that that’s still what I do I, if I could take it back and stay You know I wouldn’t want it any other way You know you wouldn’t want me any other way

I’ve been avoiding love songs Because I might give it away I’ve been avoiding love songs Afraid you’d have something to say I’ve been holding back from what is true Been holding back from holding you I’ve been avoiding love songs ‘Cause it’s not my place Don’t ask me any questions babe There’s nothing good that I can say Do me a favor, look away I’ve still got my face to save I’ve been hiding out from what is real Please don’t ask me how I feel I’ve been avoiding love songs ‘Cause it’s written on my face Look away, look away Look away, look away I’m avoiding love songs I don’t want to give it away I’ve been avoiding love songs Don’t wanna hear what you’ll say I’ve been holding back from what is true Keep holding back from holding you I’ve been avoiding love songs ‘Cause I’m in love with you I’m avoiding love songs ‘Cause I’m in love with you

There’s a feeling I can’t describe What it is to be alive And no matter how I try It escapes me Heart set afire Glowing crackling wild Stops me in my tracks Yeah it wakes me Oooh lift me up I’m done being down Ooh wake me up It’s good to be found I took a moment just for me And hell, it felt like eternity The grass had never looked so good On both sides of the street All the facts were still the same But just a whole lot less like shame And I fell in love with the rough spots on my face and feet Ooh rise and shine We only get today to be alive Yeah this life is mine But I share it with you So sit down for a while What’s the point of running from things we’ve already left behind? Ooh don’t hide I promise I’ll look forward if I can feel you there by my side I love this feeling I can’t describe What it means to be alive And no matter how I try It escapes me My heart’s been set on fire, oh yeah Glowing crackling wild and still It stops me in my tracks sometimes it shakes me And I say, ooh lift me up I’m done being down Ooh wake me up It’s good to be found Ooh rise and shine We only get today to be alive Yeah, this life is mine And I live it with you Ooh ooh ooh…

I never made the trends I couldn’t follow them I wasn’t cool back then I try to right the wrong Try to prove that I belong That didn’t last too long Yeah, here it comes around again Yeah, here it comes around again I’m OK with second best Well, maybe you wouldn’t guess But none of this is a test anyway Just show up and play the fool Don’t care if they it’s cool Not worried about their rules, no way Yeah, here it comes around again Yeah, here it comes around again If there’s not a place for you make one Didn’t save a seat for you take one If there’s not a place for you make one I never made the trends I couldn’t follow them I wasn’t cool back then Yeah, here it comes around again Yeah, here it comes around again What goes around comes around What goes around comes around

You have all the time in the world for everybody else And it kills you to save some of it for yourself The love in your heart for those who aren’t around What if you gave it to those who hold their ground? There comes a time when even you have to decide Are you ready to stop living someone else’s life? There’s a difference between giving up and settling down And maybe it’s not your job to know right now Would you take it if it weren’t the easy way out? Would you know it if the words were laced in doubt? Ooh oh You have all the time in the world for everybody else Would it kill you to save some of it for yourself? The love in your heart for those who’re never around Well, you could save it for those who hold their ground. This isn’t the easy way out This isn’t the easy way out

about

The cathartic "Live From LOVE Hill" includes some of Parker Woodland's most requested songs at our live shows, as well as a rare duet between Erin and Sam. Proceeds from EP sales between 9/3-10/1/21 will benefit the SIMS Foundation for musician mental health and music industry wellness. Fittingly, themes of the 5-song EP speak to mental health struggles and the need for self-acceptance and self-care. This is especially timely as COVID rages on. The songs were recorded live at the spot where Parker Woodland formed in Austin, TX, and are being used as part of a 100-stop virtual tour. More at ParkerWoodland.com.
