lyrics

I should have gone to bed, stopped replying, let you wonder.
I should have let it sink in, let it stew; remained asunder.
I should have left you wanting, left you thinking, left you swiftly,
But instead I gave you full control and licence to reject me.

I find you self-indulgent and distracted when you listen.
You miss the point and patronise through loose interpretation.
I let myself be drawn in but I won’t be satisfied.
You want me just to love you, not for me, but for what I provide.

I jump in quickly, whole. I know it’s foolish to be hasty.
I throw my heart around like any stillness will be wasting.
I can’t hide a feeling but I can’t express it either.
I’m a curious explorer on the verge of cabin fever.

I’m angry at myself and at your lack of understanding,
I’m frustrated that you’re taking off whenever I am landing.
I’m tired of all the subtle ways in which it feels too hard
And I’m tired of all the nights when you’re asleep and I’m on guard.

But most of all, I’m weary from the times I’ve tried and failed.
Hope is strong but fleeting and happiness is veiled.
I’m sick of trying to tell you how I feel and what it means
And I’m sick of holding out for perfect rhymes and perfect dreams.

I’ll never be content with all the choices that I’ve made,
But given my time over there are few things I would trade.
I should probably give up on hiding from the truth I so crave –
There is time for sitting quietly and time for being brave.

Mary Webb Adelaide, Australia

Captivating vocals, catchy, offbeat guitar picking and a swig of poetry, you can see why Mary Webb has been described as "a shining light" in the Adelaide Folk scene. A strong background in classical music has her in good stead, though her music now suggests Jazz and Folk have been powerful influences. Mary’s songs are thoughtful yet frank, exploring human fragility, self-discovery and connection. ... more
