[Lyric] Sweet Irene (Jacob Stelly)

[Verse 1]
Nothin' workin' oh you know I try
To keep the forces in my mind alive
Convince myself there's nothin' wrong with me
You got a question 'bout the man I've been
I'm just a product of the place I'm in
Halfway to the place that I need to be

[Chorus]
But sweet Irene what did you mean
When you told me that I'm not the one you'll pray for?
Could you tell me please how a boy like me
Could fall in love with a rollin' stone like you?

[Verse 2]
Stumblin' 'round don't seem so bad
Considerin' the time I had
Findin' the right way to do it wrong
Working now what I don't understand
And tellin' me it's all part of the plan
But tell me why does it take so long?
[Chorus]
But sweet Irene what did you mean
When you told me that I'm not the one you'll pray for?
Could you tell me please how a boy like me
Could fall in love with a rollin' stone like you?

[Verse 3]
Who could believe that the best thing I'd ever seen
Is a girl I never had the chance to know?
If you're with me through it all
Gon' be with me when we fall
That's why I'm not afraid to be alone

[Chorus]
But sweet Irene what did you mean
When you told me that I'm not the one you'll pray for?
Could you tell me please how a boy like me
Could fall in love with a rollin' stone like you?

[Outro]
Sweet Irene
