Story Behind The Song

I was watching a special with Alan Alda helping inner-city kids deal with troubles. He said you have to bend a little with problems, otherwise you'll break. I applied it to a problem my son was having with a girl he had trouble getting over.

Song Description

I guess it's about just being patient with yourself and understanding that things in retrospect are much simpler than they are in the moment.

Lyrics

Elasticity

There's a crack in the wall
and no electricity
cause it's gone whoa it's gone

There's a crack in my heart
and no elasticity
cause it's gone it's gone it's gone

Saved from silence in this modern world
Scream it out into the world we're knurled
There's no discretion for this selfish girl
The more you're in the more you will unfurl

There's a girl in my arms
It's serendipity
But she's gone, she's gone, she's gone
There's a hole in my heard
that bleeds sensitivity
in my song, my song, my song

Fill the cracks up with a thousands lies
And paint the room with the tears I've cried
Just close the door and let me hide inside
Until your'gone, until you're gone

There's a clock on the wall
and its hands are pushing me
to be strong be strong be strong

Stand up, move on
You've been here way too long
move on, move on, move on

Pressure's rising in these heightened state
The trick is not to let it make you break
Just give little then it's give and take
Overcoming makes it worth the price you pay

There's a crack in myself
but I'm gonna have to wait until it's gone
And that hole in my heart
It fills with empathy
Then it's gone, it's gone it's gone
