lyrics
We were in the woods. It was getting dark;
you fell asleep on the ground at my side,
suddenly awoke and, with a shudder, croaked,
"Mother, won't you let me back inside?"
Little one, if I were in your shoes,
I would take the road less traveled.
Then again, if I were really you,
why would I be seeking counsel from me?
Don't seek counsel from me.
Triplets pitter-patter in pretty patterns,
stippling and spattering my empty mind.
If you clear a path, it doesn't matter
where you wind up—who knows what you'll find?
Myriad are the guiding voices
if you take the road less traveled,
but you're the only one who can make those choices,
so don't take it from me.
Why would you take anything from me?
There is a time
and a place in your mind
more perfect than this world will ever be.
You locked the door,
don't live there anymore,
but check both your pockets—maybe you still have the key.
We built the walls—
they were strong, overall—
but now the barriers all start to fade away,
and damn, it feels good:
something we understood
a long time ago but forgot somewhere on the way.

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
