Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Talkin' to the drag queens down at Jenny's over on 7th Street
And I don't think things are gettin' any better
She said, "Honey, this greed is killin' me, I changed up my philosophy
'Cause some folks just don't practice what they preach"
[Chorus]
But something's gotta give
There's too much I could live for
It's like breakin' my own heart of gold
Is what it takes to make it out here on my own
[Verse 2]
I never learned to take my time, I get high strung and can't unwind
But I learned to do two hundred things at once
I don't know how, but it all seems wrong, there's too much here to focus on
I haven't taken time to breathe in months
[Chorus]
But something's gotta give
There's too much I could live for
It's like breakin' my own heart of gold
Is what it takes to make it out here on my own
[Verse 3]
I'm still afraid of squid, I think, I have these terrifyin' dreams
Since I saw them wash up on the shore last summer
It's not the way they look or move, I think it's that they think things through
And kill just for the rush because they're bored
[Bridge]
It feels like the universe is broken from some evil curse
Like time and space are fighting back, it gets heavy
It keeps me lookin' up at night, and hopin' things turn out alright
Is it all just pre-determined? How does time work?
[Chorus]
'Cause something's gotta give
There's too much I could live for
It's like breakin' my own heart of gold
Is what it takes to make it out here on my own
[Outro]
I had a hard time explainin' to my folks
That all my dreams are filled with ghosts
And that things are better off, but also worse off
But also better off, but also worse off
But also better off, but also worse off
