lyrics

Josephine, why does it seem
That you always get it all wrong?
You come on so tough
but it’s never enough, and it won’t get you where you belong.

Josephine, you don’t have to scream
’cause girl, I can hear you just fine.
But you rail at the stars
And you show ’em your scars
And you put up one hell of a fight.

At the end of the day, what do you take away from this,
after you’re done taking names?
You always find just what you have in mind
And you always have someone to blame.

Josephine, what did you mean
when you said you never get what you deserve?
Were you just being wry?
Or was it a lie?
Or did you believe every word?

You think I don’t know and you think it don’t show
But it’s written all over your face.
And me, I can see who you’re trying to be
and who you want to replace.

Josephine, where have you been?
’Cause girl, I’ve been calling for days.
Are you out there alone?
Do you want to come home?
Look, I just want to know that you’re okay.
’Cause it’s a hell of a fight.

Her work blends both the real and the imagined, and the musical landscape she navigates dips into country, Americana, and singer/songwriter influences, drawing comparisons to musicians who sometimes get summarily lumped into the folk category, such as Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams and Jonatha Brooke. ... more
