Look close, see him sweat the most
each time his options disappear

Just a shaking hand without a concrete plan
Just a shaking hand without a concrete plan
I'm a shaking hand without a plan

In Bloom, Again

Digging this country version of Nirvana's In Bloom.

Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom

Don't know what it means to love someone

And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun

Don't know what it means to love someone
He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
Don't know what it means to love someone
