You told yourself
"I'd write a letter today"
Tell the world that you would hurt yourself
Can't look in mirror much less anyone else
You try to move on from here
But you look like a ghost alive
You can't think always running in place
A lost soul that won't show his face
But I know you're just someone who's feeling all alone
You're just someone who doesn't seem to know which way to turn
If you just ask for help, if you just ask for help
First thing I'll say is you gotta love yourself
Find it hard to take
Hard to take even the best of praise
A pair of hands that became too tough
A growing armor for whatever they might touch
But I know you're just someone who's feeling all alone
You're just someone who doesn't seem to know which way to turn
If you just ask for help, if you just ask for help
First thing I'll say is you gotta love yourself
But I know you're just someone who's feeling all alone
You're just someone who doesn't seem to know which way to turn
If you just ask for help, if you just ask for help
First thing I'll say is you gotta love yourself
You gotta love yourself, you gotta love yourself
"I'd write a letter today"
Tell the world that you would hurt yourself
Can't look in mirror much less anyone else
You try to move on from here
But you look like a ghost alive
You can't think always running in place
A lost soul that won't show his face
But I know you're just someone who's feeling all alone
You're just someone who doesn't seem to know which way to turn
If you just ask for help, if you just ask for help
First thing I'll say is you gotta love yourself
Find it hard to take
Hard to take even the best of praise
A pair of hands that became too tough
A growing armor for whatever they might touch

You're just someone who doesn't seem to know which way to turn

You gotta love yourself, you gotta love yourself

I know my ears aren't what they once were thanks to really good music played loud, but I keep hearing "you're just a moron" instead of "you're just someone" . Time for hearing aids, or am I onto something here?

I find it remarkable that more fuss hasn't been made about this exquisite album. I cannot tire of it. Beautiful.

Now, after reading your post, it sounds like he's saying "you're just a moron..." to me; he does have an odd way of pronouncing "someone". Cool tune.
Sounds like moron to me too.

Kudos for a) LOVING yourself and b) a great nickname.....Long Live StfuDonny….and RP!!
This makes me stop and reflect on the gift of having finally learned to love myself. So grateful to have found that peace and even more grateful to have this beautiful song to remind me. Thank you, Bill and RP!

bad advice - would not work for someone with this kind of trauma.
yeah, this song would resonate better if I didn't also hear "You're just a moron...".

I keep hearing you're just someone as you're just a moron
True story
I was visiting my doctor and he said look, you have to love yourself.
I said,
come on doc, I'm up to 3 times a day.

I did that already !! 6 - 8 after a coupla listens ;D
Very lovely. Me likey. Wistful, a bit pensive, but very life affirming. I've been there. So have we all. I'll start with a 7. The next time I hear it, could be a boost.

how have these slipped by me?!
I'm still listening to this album the whole time - I absolutely love it.
Perfect Sunday evening Mix for my part of the world ... somehow RP makes it always work regardless of the weeknight? Think I need to purchase another t-shirt! :)
Album of the year for me.
quite note for note the Wonderful Life of bLACK late eighties ...?

Oh wow. I was at that show. In fact, I saw the seizure. :-(
Kudos for them for continuing on, and they made the best of it. It really goes to show you how much bass adds to the live experience, but I enjoyed what they were able to put together.
I just saw them in Chicago. Small intimate setting. Unfortunately the bassist' wife had a sezure in the venue about 45 minutes before playing. Nate apologized and turned the set into an acoustic concert. Great anyway! Keep on playing! And I hope she is doing better.

Absolutely love this and the whole album is a cracker.
Agreed 100% on this track...I just went 9→10 on it...sometimes the message/meaning of a song transcends the music itself (like Lennon's "Imagine" for instance) and that's the case w/ me on this one.
Now, is 'cracker' a good thing...as in should I obtain the album? Long Live RP!! And hopefully BnR love RP as much as we do ;-)

Lovely. Instant 7 and bound to climb on further listening.
It just grows, and grows, and grows! Love it!

Pretty much took the 'typed words off my keyboard' there kingart....100% agreement...and I did boost my 7→9 today. And now I want to hear the full album yet the Amazon Music App only had this one track available from the album....odd....oh well....LONG LIVE RP!!

It sounds like to me that at least half the times he sings it. Worked its way into my head and I had to look up the lyrics to even figure out what he was really saying.
I suppose it sounds like Yanny to you? ;P

Good stuff, indeed.

I know another song that I love with a similar name, and this one is just as good if not better.
I simply cannot get enough of this song right now, such a lush feel and so touching. Kinda has a Daniel Lanois vibe to it.
Good song, but hitting way too fucking close to home right now.
Sounds unremarkable but somehow this touched me. Well done, RP!
This one caught my ear.... 
Nice :o) Connecticut
glad to hear new stuff from these guys.
Absolutely, friend. Wonderful album from start to finish.
