Lyrics:
1. i've cried onto a casket i've seen the scenes and seasons change i've spread my share of ashes over the ocean and down the drain i spilled on you my secrets i drew upon you all my dreams each night listening to crickets sing their song til morning CH: ooooh... 2. mother nature's coming at me speeding down a westbound track hanging out a boxcar swinging a slow motion baseball bat my highest hopes for you just showed up crashing the party of my guard and i know whatever goes up is coming down, baby, twice as hard CH 3. i'm angry at my worst i'm struggling at my best to find words to fit this verse for what's happening in my chest of course i should have seen this coming i should have never picked your name like a River, life keeps running washing away what never came CH

1. i don't wanna do the dishes
i don't wanna sweep the floor i don't wanna be ambitious anymore you're the only good news walking in and out the door so i'm thinking that i could use a new plan moving forward CH i wanna quit everything but loving you it's the only thing that i wanna do cause i'm so good at it makes me wanna quit i wanna quit everything but loving you cause i, i don't have a fucking clue how to save the world but i can love my girl so i'm gonna quit everything but loving you yes i'm gonna quit everything but loving you 2. i'm not thinking about tomorrow barely thinking about today i just wanna keep the sorrow and the anger and worry at bay i'm so thankful for my baby she always knows what to say so here's to being lazy and letting love lead the way CH
1. don't think too much, too soon
when it's too little, too late don't suck the air from the room while someone else suffocates imagine a mile in the shoes that some devil keeps lacing you in who used god as an excuse to behave and to say what's less than human 2. don't tell the rain it's dry don't tell the sun it's hot don't point, don't lie, don't patronize it won't erase all the rotten parts you got imagine centuries in the skin that some thief keeps taking you in who finds new ways of legislating for the hate of your melanin for the guilt of their wrong-doing for the envy of your elegance for the safety of their dominance for the trembling fear of your perserverance for the crazy high of arrogance for the lazy love of ignorance for the hate of your melanin for the hate of your melanin 1. i lose i lose i get it i lose Anything i love i know enough to tell ya i’m gonna lose it i’m gonna lose it i bruise i bruise i’ve sensitive skin it pinches like a peach each time that you touch me you bruise it you bruise it CH look at all this lemonade i made babe out of every lemon i’ve been given take a picture of me diving in the pitcher aint it funny how drowning looks like swimming ain’t it funny how dying looks like living 2. i cry i cry you know that i cry my eyes never dry heart heavy with sighs i’m crying i try i try but i can barely get by slowed to a crawl get up and fall, i’m never flying but i keep tryin CH x2 1. every single night you're the last thing on my mind no use counting sheep it's just you and me and the memories i keep every day i wake mother farther away no use wondering why it's just you and me and the longest wave goodbye CH the story didn't end like i wanted it to and i can't find a pen to save your life it hurts to pretend anything would be different if you were alive i still wish you were alive 2. every time i breathe you're the lungs in me no use holding the inhale it's still you and me hanging crooked on the nail CH 1. we're shitting bricks we're spitting mad we're restless and exhausted we're grateful but so sad you worship money cash is your church and your god's the easter bunny if rent's due on the first CH you're corrupt just look at the destruction you never gave a fuck about us don't you come back no more hit the road jack put your money stacks in the body bags don't ya come back no more 2. i post my privileged protest from the unemployment line do you like my brand new soapbox i got it on amazon prime contagious convenience continuous corporate news freedom turns to greed cause if you're poor or your brown you don't get to choose CH br. maybe it's too late and we got it cause we asked for it baby here's your hell in a trump-branded casket or maybe we are right on time with fresh air to breathe and we'll build something much better if you just fucking leave CH 1. since shelter in place got nothing in the bank stopped touching my face (mmm), and stay six feet away (mmm) i take my time with tasks all my friends are sewing masks my plans all got replaced with sanitizing every space but i keep on clinging to my musical upbringing hoping all this singing in your screen will help it be alright CH we just gotta put each other first and stay at home so it don’t get any worse keep thanking all the folks who are hard at work so it tapers off tapers off don’t spend all your time getting mad on twitter pick up a pen and write your senator or pop your head in on a struggling neighbor til it tapers off tapers off 2. i never miss a Zoom, i sterilized my broom but sometimes the doom and gloom (mmm) keeps me stuck inside my room (mmm) you’re not in this alone just make the moves up as you go be good to folks you know and even the ones you don’t but just remember you’re your own defender not just in November people have the power to make everything alright CH
i don't like to compare
but the grass looks greener over there i work hard, you do too but what we both wanted only came to you and i'm sending you all my well wishes but the truth is, i'm jealous of you yeah i'm jealous of you yeah i'm jealous of you i try not to be sad just be grateful for all the things i have i don't like to say it out loud these green eyes don't make me proud chorus i don't like to waste my time picking sour grapes from the vine just keep it moving it's all i can do just wish i wasn't so jealous of you chorus |
