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
