Lyrics:
I can be soft like your punching pillow
As sharp as the guillotine
Or as wicked as the gallows.
If your looking for sedated,
Well, I can mellow,
But truth be known,
On my own,
I'm pretty yellow.

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Everything left untouched just turns to rust.
One day the snow will melt away,
But I got a lot I gotta say
Better open and bellow
Before the sun burns pretty yellow.

I've lived my life on the tip of my tongue
When I ought to have been livin' it at
The top of my lungs.
I've got so many songs,
Yeah, so many songs,
I've just left unsung.
And one of these days, I know,
One of these days, I won't be quite so young.
No I won't be so young.
So young.

In autumn we see the leaves last big hoorah.
Their hues chose to lose meeker, greener shades.
I'm gonna fall, I've gotta change,
I've gotta learn to turn the page,
Colored by age that had to fade
Pretty yellow.

I've lived my life on the tip of my tongue
When I ought to have been living it at
The top of my lungs.
I've got so many songs,
Yeah, so many songs,
I've just left unsung.
And one of the days, I know,
One of these days, I won't be quite so young.
No, I won't be so young.
So young.
So young.

[NatureMaidenDancing]

How is this not more popular?

[rdsalyers1]

I thought it was great! Woke up at 3am and couldnt sleep so i got online and found this and it moved me. The song and singing was really good but just seeing brandi i saw my 2nd grade teacher (her mom) and where it was shot was the old eastside school and the old building where my grandfather had his cab office was the coolest thing i could have found on here at 3am! You took me back thanks hope you and your mom are well. Robert Salyers

@TomSka Francis Stokes did not direct the video.  I did.

[89kygirl1]

Hey it's Big Springs!!! Been there so many times it's not even funny anymore!

[stephaniemarkham]

Thanks! The video is meant to look homemade. Brandi and I are small town girls, not too fancy pants.

[augustsky1]

I enjoyed seeing homemade video style...brings it home to me....

[watertownchat]

ever heard of a tripod?

[romansandals]

Excellent! In fact, your entire Bottle Corks album is nothing short of briliant. Being a fan of the 80's, A Natalie Merchant/ 10,000 Maniacs influence can be heard throughout. Record labels are foolish to not have you signed.

Nice song and video.
