Mullins, Shawn - Eggshells Lyrics






She slees with the windows open
yet she's still locked safe inside
and to block out the sounds of the city's commotion
she turns her fan up on high
yea she lives just far enough away from home
to see the whole scene
and down the street the kids throw sticks and stones
and end up on the the TV screen
yea they throw their sticks and stones
and end up on the TV screen
and she used to walk on these gracefully
but now they crunch beneath her feet
I guess she must be changin'
there's just no way to keep it neat
and her father still barks like a soldier
returning from victory
but now eh's much older
and that bark isn't as scary as it used to be
yea she watches his self torture
no one left to abuse but himself
but still her memory scorches her
and she struggles to love herself
her memory scorches her
and she struggles to love herself
and she used to walk on these gracefully
but now they crunch beneath her feet
and I guess she must be changin'
she never was to good at stayin' in her seat
and this town grows hungry and restless
hungry for what I ain't sure
but they're sweepin' the streets of the trash and the homeless
and raisin' the rent
and breakin' the poor
and I used to walk on these gracefully
but now they crunch beneath my feet
and I guess I must be changin'
there's just no way to keep it neat
I used to walk on these gracefully
I guess I must be changin'...

    I used to listen to this song as a child, and I'd almost always fall asleep to it. I never understood what this song was about back then but listening to it now... It's a beautiful song, even if it is a little depressing. I feel I will continue to love this song for a fair while too.

    J.... D....

    Love this song.

  9. U.... ....

    I'm sorry for your loss. And you didn't lose all control of your emotions; you faced them, and felt them all through the music. It can feel overwhelming, but you are still healing, and it's normal and healthy. Take care.

    I was 19 he was 41 when he passed his son was 17.

  11. D.... Z....

    I remember when I saw Shawn Mullins play at poor David's pub. I screamed out to play Joshua. After the show I met him and told him how happy I was that he played Joshua. I told him about my friend Mike. And the last thing I heard him say, which was " Zig is a good kid...I take that back he is a good man. I wish he would be around more often to be a father figure to my son than I could ever be."

  12. U.... ....
