From the album 'Only Good Thoughts Can Stay' (2011) • Pay what you want

You had a panic attack in The Petrified Forest one night.
You'd been sick since Santa Cruz it was your one day off in 25.
And they let you catch your breath under a billion starred New Mexican sky.
You had another outside Austin; you were driving when suddenly you couldn't breathe.
You were listening to a show about a widow who was horribly bereaved
only she had saved his seed and she was still gonna have his baby.
And you ended up on your knees in the red sand.
Sobbing into the phone to me back in Portland.
I said "I know its overwhelming and I don't blame you a bit,
you feel like everything's so beautiful and you're scared you're gonna lose it.
But just take ten deep breaths, try to smile if you can, get up out of the sand.
Because this is what you wanted though it isn't what you planned.
You're not dying your soul just can't keep up with the van."
You caught a fever in Grand Junction, it was the best show of the tour.
The kids were all ecstatic but their passion was just too much to endure.
You sent me a blurry photo that said "why can't music always be this pure?"
And you busted up your wrist in La Grande trying to jump a train.
You said "sometimes staring death in the face takes its power away!"
I said "that's not the sort of thing a person wants to hear their loved one say."
The van left you there on the tracks all hammered and confused.
Which illustrates the paradox we face when paying our dues:
that it's all coming together, though it feels like such a mess.
It just takes a little faith to quell that chaos in your chest
so just take ten deep breaths try to smile if you can, get the hell out of La Grande,
because this is what you wanted though it isn't what you planned.
You're not dying, your soul just can't keep up with the van.
Constant lineup changes and improvised, infrequent rehearsals would cause many bands to suffer, but they’ve become the lifeblood of Jared Mees & The Grown Children, giving the group’s live shows a devil-may-care energy and keeping the songs honest and raw. The most recent incarnation of the Grown Children recorded 2011’s Only Good Thoughts Can Stay, at Portland’s storied Type Foundry studio. The result was the band’s most complex, rich, and fully realized album to date, full of the sprawling epic soundscapes and lucid lyrical imagery that Jared Mees & The Grown Children have come to be known for.
