Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So frustrated that something complicated
Could hang over my head
On my first day back
And already I'm treadin' on unsteady ground
So strike me down or strike me out
[Verse 2]
So elated this soul so understated
Could be makin' eyes at me
But first I'll be
Another innocent victim lookin' for some
Sense of sympathy
[Verse 3]
In the middle of a state
The sorry story of a star
'Cause here's my heart
It's a start and if anything
We haven't seen everything
[Verse 4]
In the middle of a stage
There's a girl and a guitar
But there's your car
Have we forgotten who we are?
We haven't seen anything
[Verse 5]
So I'm told that Chicago's cold
Can't be cool as California
For the first time ever
I feel severed yet smooth, removed
If you approve, check it out
[Verse 6]
Yeah
[Verse 7]
To what do I owe
This attention?
I'm only half of the reflection
And the conversation goes
Oh, never mind
Oh, never mind
[Verse 8]
To what do I owe
This tension?
If deception's fine
Then this is divine
[Verse 9]
Divine
Divine, divine, divine, divine, divine, divine, divine, divine
[Verse 10]
My first day back
And already I've settled on
My weak front
My weak front
My weak front
