Many thanks to all the enthusiastic fans who have heard this song at past performances and requested a copy of it, particularly Ayisha & Parker from the Bay Area Rock Camp for Girls. Thanks also to Pete for his gajillion hours spent in the studio attending to every little detail of this recording. Thanks to my sister Ursula for requiring that this song be written in the first place. And of course, endless gratitude to the birds & bees, and redwood trees, and all of nature for really having it figured out.


enjoy!

LYRICS - "HABIT"
c. 2011 Amanda West Music
-----------------------------------

i have a bad habit
of worrying, stressing, fretting,
brow-knitting over every little thing

and i have a bad habit
of thinking i'll never no matter what
never be enough

but the birds and the bees
and the redwood trees
they've got it figured out
and they are all about today

you have a bad habit
of worrying, stressing, fretting,
brow-knitting over every little thing

and you have a bad habit
of thinking you'll never no matter what
never be enough

but the birds and the bees
and the redwood trees
they've got it figured out
'cause they are all about today

so let's start a new habit
of waking, walking, breathing
singing thank you for everything

and let's start a new habit
of knowing we are already
already enough

'cause the problem is not
those little things
and the problem is not
who we are
it's just that to break a habit
is hard

but the birds and the bees
and the redwood trees
they've got it figured out
'cause they are all about today

yes the birds and the bees
and the redwood trees
oh they will teach us well
they've got so much to tell us today

just let them teach you well
they've got so much to tell us
today
