Winchester Playlists: Still Beating

[finchandsparrow]

Oh nooooooooooooo

I was just innocently minding my own business, finishing up some dishes, when this song came up next on my playlist and as;lfkdfkjdslks;kdafs. This has been a primarily Dean song for me for a while, but today it hit me especially hard.

I have another Winchester playlist song that I was about to share-a song, coincidentally, by the same artist-and that post is basically already written and ready to go but TOO BAD. Right now we are sharing this song because we’ve been inundated with Dean feels.

This is “Still Beating” by Josh Ritter.

I know the dog days of the summer
Have you ten-to-one outnumbered
Seems like everybody up and left and they’re not coming back
The shadow that you’re standing on’s still here, sometimes that’s all that you can ask
And your heart’s still beating

You’re not the fastest draw in town now
How many times you been shot down now?
Seems like everybody else could see the things you never did
If you could yourself, you’d probably never have made it through the things you did
And your heart's still beating

I know the dog days of the summer
Have you ten-to-one outnumbered
It seems like everybody else saw trouble sneaking up behind
It left you half dead in the street, but that just means you’re half alive
And your heart’s still beating

Still beating, still beating
Still beating, still beating
Still beating, still beating
And your heart’s still beating
