AWOLNATION - Handyman Lyrics






I'm a sinner
I will consider
I am my father's son

I'm a sinner
I must consider
I've never owned a gun

I'm a sinner
Seasoned beginner
Lucky to be alive

I'm a sinner
Finished my dinner
Now I can go outside

If only yesterday took place tomorrow
I'd pray for sleep
And wake you and lift your head
So I can fix your hand
I'll be your handyman

I'm not brittle
I'm just a little
Scared of your temperament

I'm not brittle
I'm just a little
Scared of my government

I'm not brittle
Head hurts a little
Staring up overhead

I'm not brittle
I'm just a riddle
Born of white, blue and red

If only yesterday took place tomorrow
I pray for sleep
And wake you and lift your head
So I can fix your hand
I'll be your handyman

If only yesterday took place tomorrow
I pray for sleep
And wake you and lift your head
So I can fix your hand
I'll be your handyman

  9. J.... ....

    Love this song

  10. d.... w....

    as an artist and now a law student, i was drawn to this song after reviewing the Ghost Ship Warehouse fire..tangents are prob just in my head, but this song is haunting to me in a new and incredibly melancholy way.

  11. D.... M....

    Handy Manny approves.

  12. K.... K....

    Always come back to this album during rough times.

  13. K.... R....

  23. J.... P....

    one thing that confuses me about the video....why the Oregon postcard? Maybe they were on the way there at the beginning :)

  24. J.... P....

    I've loved them since the first time I heard "Sail", but this band is both deep and his music has evolved considerably over three albums. One of the best bands of the modern rock era in my humble opinion...this song is def one of their best

  25. C.... B....

    I’m so happy to see she’s alive at the end!

  26. B.... J....

    They should not use our medications if they are going to call the police on us.  Its as if they found religion and started calling the police on people.

  35. D.... W....

    There is a lot of speculation to Revelation 14 do you think this is it, I think they should ponder it.

  36. K.... M....

    Ya I wish I could and many will

    K.... M....

    Sorry many I will

  37. T.... G....

    It's nice that he got away from the fear porn like in all of his other songs/how he sold out. Which literally goes over 99% of his audiences heads. All I can say is, our end of days is gonna be a doozy. Satan is gearing up, antichrist is ready for the stage.

  38. B.... T....

    I love the pure syncopation of the guitar in the chorus.... that's something like never before.

  39. G.... O....

    Reminds me of the '80s

  40. T.... I....

    Sumiya led me here <3

  41. W.... S....

    I am love with this video. OMG! Why didn't someone tell me about his earlier!?

  42. T.... ....

    This is such a great song. Why did AltNation stop playing it?

  43. r.... ....

    Umd gang

  44. C.... N....

    I only write hits.

  45. D.... C....

    This song is a real tribute to how fast time goes. It Makes you wish you could go back and relive those moments when you were younger. It's sad, but yet it brings back so much pleasure from all those memories, ones you won't ever forget. It's memories that are worth keeping!!

  46. C.... B....

    So fun to play on acoustic guitar.I,m an intermediate novice and Its 3 chordz r great together.

  47. P.... T....

    I love this song so much. The vibe it gives off is so...wonderful?? I don't know how to explain it. Y'all know what I mean.

  48. T.... D....

    I own a gun, a few actually. Love this song, but he needs protection. Lol

  49. G.... L....

    Как всегда великолепно, почему так мало просмотров, потрясная группа, обожаю их

  50. A.... Q....

    Freaking good stuff here!!!! But makes me homesick for my Santa Cruz mountains and the beach too!

  51. L.... G....

    You
    Are so funny

  52. A.... C....

    Can't get enough of this album <3

  53. S.... ....

    I NEED A SICK DROP M8 make run 2 please

  54. b.... y....

    As I sit here wondering why I let her go! I loved to go back when you said them 3 little words that were so big and made me feel so weak!

  55. D.... F....

    So, did the guy die at the end of the video? Is that what's represented by her taking his hand?

  56. t.... _....

    I heard this song for the first time at my Twenty One Pilots concert and I loved it. It's so catchy and I started humming along (I didn't know the words yet) so now I'm here to listen to this beautiful song <3

  57. W.... ....

    the music, the lyrics, the meaning and the video.. dis it

  58. D.... P....

    fucking powerful.

  59. d.... ....

    Why why would this be disliked?

    Favorite band

  69. V.... Y....

    saw this song live on the bandito tour recently. loving it 💕

  70. C.... P....

    Could someone explain the ending where they're side by side and old? The whole video I thought was him reminiscing over young love that ended too soon, but then she's there all of a sudden, clearly still his girlfriend/wife! What?!

  71. �.... �....

    Как же это классно

  72. �.... �....

    o my gosh, its awesome! Beatiful song, and video.
    p.s.
    your Biggest fan from russia

  73. S.... R....

    I saw them sing this at the banditø tour and it was amazing

  74. p.... ....

    So sad, so realistic...

  75. m.... v....

    They played this song during their set opening for Twenty One Pilots. I was singing along before the song was even over and immediately put it on Spotify. This song needs twice as many plays as Sail.

  76. Y.... 2....

    I wish they could produce another song like sail, I think no other Awolnation track has such a unique touch to it...

  77. c.... w....

    Just came to sre new songs what happened so much different to stuff like sail

  78. G.... S....

    I saw this live as the opener in the twenty one pilots concert here in Minnesota at the Xcel Energy and there was so much energy and it was awesome

  79. T.... M....

    "I'm not brittle I'm just a riddle born of white blue, and red" No shit.

  80. V.... C....

    Why are my eyes sweating???

  81. T.... W....

    brilliant song, beautiful video

  84. A.... D....

  85. A.... A....

  86. J.... F....

    Interesting mix/production.

  87. W.... S....

    I swear to god people write music like this just to play in car commercials

  88. p.... b....

  89. K.... A....

  90. K.... A....

    I’m a sinner I will consider
    I am my father’s son
    I’m a sinner I must consider
    I've never owned a gun

    I’m a sinner, seasoned beginner
    Lucky to be alive
    I’m a sinner, finished my dinner
    Now I can go outside

    If only yesterday 
    Took place tomorrow
    I’d pray for sleep
    And wake you and lift your head
    So I can fix your hand
    I’ll be your handyman (handyman)

    I’m not brittle I’m just a little
    Scared of your temperament
    I’m not brittle I’m just a little
    Scared of my government

    I’m not brittle Head hurts a little
    Staring up overhead
    I’m not brittle I’m just a riddle
    Born of white, blue and red

    If only yesterday
    Took place tomorrow
    I pray for sleep
    And wake you and lift your head
    So I can fix your hand
    I’ll be your handyman (handyman)

    Do, do, do, do
    Do, do, do, do
    Do, do, do, do
    Do, do, do, do

    If only yesterday
    Took place tomorrow
    I pray for sleep
    And wake you and lift your hea

    I’m a sinner I will consider
    I am my father’s son
    (He has the same struggles as his father did)

    I’m a sinner I must consider
    I've never owned a gun
    (Maybe he is a sinner, but his vice isn't violence -- they are self-harming)

    I’m a sinner, seasoned beginner
    Lucky to be alive
    (He has experienced a lot for someone so young, and he is getting sober -- grateful to be alive)

    I’m a sinner, finished my dinner
    Now I can go outside
    (He is finished indulging, and is starting to learn how to take care of his responsibilities before going out to play. Now, he can fully experience the world)

    If only yesterday 
    Took place tomorrow
    I’d pray for sleep
    And wake you and lift your head
    So I can fix your hand
    I’ll be your handyman (handyman)
    (If he had another chance tomorrow, he would go right to sleep, wake up, and try to help his loved one overcome their vice -- he would "fix" the hand that was "broken" and kept reaching for drink or other substances)

    I’m not brittle I’m just a little
    Scared of your temperament
    I’m not brittle I’m just a little
    Scared of my government
    (He's not weak, just somewhat shaken. Maybe this is a reference to his fear of his father when he was under the influence. Or maybe he's just reflecting on his own anxieties that he used to self-medicate)

    I’m not brittle Head hurts a little
    Staring up overhead
    (Perhaps a hang over or withdrawal -- waking up in the morning and feeling remorse, or resolve, to quit)

    I’m not brittle I’m just a riddle
    Born of white, blue and red
    (But how can we blame him? This is an epidemic in the USA)

    If only yesterday
    Took place tomorrow
    I pray for sleep
    And wake you and lift your head
    So I can fix your hand
    I’ll be your handyman

    Just my interpretation, but these lyrics really touch me. If only yesterday took place tomorrow, there's a head I wish I had one more chance to lift.

    What a beautiful song. 

    Reminds me of how fragile we all truly are and how hard each of us try as we attempt to navigate this world, to make sense of it and ourselves. Sometimes it just doesn't make any sense. We're all dealt different hands in life - born into different circumstances, given different challenges. How much of a choice did we really have? We play the hand we're dealt, hoping for the best. It's when things don't make sense when we have that "if only yesterday" moment. That line is heartbreakingly beautiful. The memories of people, places, and events that we can't forget, that almost hold us back in this state of limbo until we understand why. 

    We're all one big puzzle - pieces that somehow fit together but got jumbled up. All we can really do is help each other make sense of this life and help put the pieces of the world, ourselves and our lives back together - be one another's handymen. This is my favorite song

    Today even the shit eating wastes need to contribute to energy stock with some kind of thought pattern to begin a new mind set to think for a new and different outcome other than I don't get or I don't have and how about u are here in energy causing a collapse with supid dumb thinoughtabthat a!out to still have no respect for thoughts that add to a build for overcoming your dreams and hopes u will ever come out other than a fucking cunt wr hate nasty ok look in mirror reveal karma's roll and add to your stack of crap left and have a good fucking ezteem shit wating whores

    Excellent Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered - Rozardner Successful Handyman Reality (google it)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for how to start a handyman business minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate at last got astronomical results with it.
