Glass Jar by Jann Arden Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm digging through my mind for bits of happiness
I'm shuffling the good thing to the top
I'm tryna find the ones of me and you, dad
But I can't make something appear from what is not
Oh, I've been searching for the ones of me and you, dad
But I can't make something appear from what is lost
I found a photograph when you were younger
You were standing by a beat-up Chevrolet
A cigarette was pinched between your fingers
And you had that steady look upon your face

[Chorus]
I never knew you
I tried to, but you wouldn't let me in
All of the questions I had will just live in a glass jar
Somewhere on a shelf inside my head

[Verse 2]
Being young is never all that easy
It takes so long to figure out a plan
You're living inside someone else's body
And you're running from the devil when you can
[Chorus]
I never knew you
I tried to, but you wouldn't let me in
All of the questions I had will just live in a glass jar
Somewhere on a shelf inside my heart

[Outro]
Inside my heart
Ah, inside of my heart
