if i had my way today, everything would be the same.
heavy days i hope for rain, when all my life sticks to my skin
now if i say something bad tell me to shut my mouth
today i look like a stone, heating up and sitting still
i feel heart between the bones, not like what i thought it was
(sit out on the second floor, think about what got me there
now if i say something bad tell me to shut my mouth
i thought this would come out all wrong, but i guess it came out all right
i couldn’t change it anyway, but i’d keep it all the same.
and the sun makes me complain, still i love the state i’m in
cuz you know how i feel now, no matter what i say
my tongue knows a lot of words, but they don’t know me well
i don’t know them well at all, but i don’t need to now.
and today’s like yesterday, i paint it on me and it rubs away.
beating out a little home, growing up and getting strong
with this song coming out my ears, wondering what got me here.)
cuz you know how i feel now, no matter what i say
my tongue knows a lot of words, but they don’t know me well
i don’t know them well at all, but i don’t need to now
i don’t need to.
i thought this would come out all wrong, but it looks all right tonight.
