The Problem

[Verse 1: Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires] Remember Katie White? She jumped the fence that night She ran away in tears Your sister drank her beer We were just eighteen The older girls could be so mean Talking just to talk You were still in shock [Chorus: Jason Isbell] And all I could think to say Was, "Everything's going to be okay It's going to be alright I'm on your side" I'm on your side [Verse 2: Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires] What do you wanna do? I'm scared to even say the truth This has been the hardest year Is it even legal here? I'm trying not to think of names And will you look at me the same? Do you need the reasons why? Is a chrysalis a butterfly? [Chorus: Jason Isbell, Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires] And all I could think to say Was, "Everything's going to be okay It's going to be alright I'm on your side" I'm on your side [Bridge: Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires, Both] And no one has to know The scars won't even show At least that's what I've heard No bigger than a baby bird (No bigger than a baby bird) No bigger than a baby bird (No bigger than a baby bird) Do you think God still sees me? Coming out of this twilight sleep I'm not sure who I am Staring into my empty hands [Chorus: Jason Isbell, Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires] And all I could think to say Was, "Everything's going to be okay It's going to be alright I'm on your side" I'm on your side
