Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit Sunstroke lyrics

They tell me you walk on the water now
But I know who showed you the stones
You pray that I banish my appetite
And lie there alone

I hope that you've practiced your instrument
I fear it will take you away
You ain't the type to be traveling
So why not just stay

But here it is morning for some folks
And twilight for those of us left
Who sleep while the soldiers get sunstroke
Make little fools of ourselves
Make little fools of ourselves

Are we supposed to get good at this?
What does it mean to give up?
Why did I call you?
I shouldn't be giving a fuck

Answer these questions for everyone
So maybe they'll stop asking me
What really happened
And where is your masterpiece?

But here it is morning for some folks
And twilight for those of us left

Who give up the dangers of sunstroke
And make little fools of ourselves
Make little fools of ourselves

Tell me you walk on the water now
Tell me you walk on the water now
Tell me you walk on the water now
But I know who showed you the stones

Tell me you walk on the water now
Tell me you walk on the water now
Tell me you walk on the water now
But I know who showed you the stones

But here it is morning for some folks
And twilight for those of us left
Who sleep while the soldiers get sunstroke
Make little fools of ourselves
Oh, make little fools of ourselves

I need some things to look forward to
Maybe these colors will fade
I never meant to get bored with you
But I never meant to stay
