All I Could Do-Kimya Dawson

[00:28.03]I had a show a few weeks ago [00:32.06]its getting harder and harder to sing [00:37.02]And it is hard to focus on my guitar playing [00:41.68]playing when inside a baby is kicking [00:49.69]At first I was sad and scared [00:53.83]cause this is all I know how to do [00:58.94]then John and Peter played standing up [01:02.92]sometimes something will change and that change [01:06.34]will change you. [01:11.40]then I thought back to six years ago [01:16.07]when Brian Pilkton told me to play [01:20.93]he gave me a car, a typewriter, a guitar [01:25.79]before that all I could do was count days. [01:33.67]then I thought back to before my coma [01:38.32]rehab into coma, my junkie roommates [01:43.50]all that I knew how to do was put cigarettes [01:48.20]out on my self, I took pills and I drank. [01:56.23]and I thought back to when I was 15 [02:00.44]how I was squeaky clean, and I wanted to die [02:05.51]I was feeding the homeless while combating loneliness [02:10.25]all that I could do was keep living a lie. [02:18.25]then I think back to that 12 year old poet [02:22.71]how she didn't know it was what she would be [02:27.81]all she could do was hide under her bed [02:31.76]scared to death that somebody might read her diary [02:40.27]see I have changed and i'll keep on changing [02:45.21]and maybe my songwriting will suffer [02:49.50]but its okay if at the end of the day [02:54.50]all i can do next is just be a good mother [03:00.03]its okay if at the end of the day all i can do next [03:06.28]is be a good mother.
