i put up a wall of feathers
so it's so easy for you to break it down i filled up a suitcase of nevers no longer a word now, never's just a sound i must like the pain of together much more than the fear of being apart sometimes i feel like a broken record over over again and again and again stop breaking my heart stop breaking my heart, stop breaking my heart oh, a wind will blow knock down our home feathers will fly, and i'll wonder why i never built with stone i put on my pi's and your sweater cause baby these days that's about as close as i get to you i think of the good days when things were better i think of the new ways that i could get through i put down my weapons and surrendor each new day beckons a clean slate and if i kept them i would just remember why it was i picked them up in the first place
do you ever feel your feelings
getting so out of whack do you ever think a thought wish you could take it back baby, once they're there yeah, they're everywhere setting up shop in your mind once they're there man, they're everywhere and all you can do is think about 'em all the time do you ever wish your brain was somebody else's do you ever feel a feeling a wish somebody felt it train of thought, just won't stop keeps on barreling down the track peace of mind is hard to find i wonder if i'll ever get mine back |
