Lyrics

Gold light breaks behind the houses I don't see what's strange about this Tiny bubbles hang above me It's a sign that someone loves me I can hardly stand up right I hit my head upon the light I have faith but don't believe it It's not there enough to leave it Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea I have only two emotions Careful fear and dead devotion I can't get the balance right With all my marbles in the fight I see all the ones I went for All the things I had it in for I won't cry until I hear 'Cause I was not supposed to be here Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea I'm not alone I'll never be And to the bone I'm evergreen I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm dumb When it gets so late I forget everyone I need somewhere to stay Don't think anybody I know is awake Calm down, it's alright Keep my arms the rest of the night When they ask what do I see I say a bright, white, beautiful heaven hanging over me I'm not alone I'll never be And to the bone I'm evergreen And if you want (dead seriously) To see me cry (don't swallow the cap) Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back) Or "Nevermind" (dead seriously) Is it time to leave? Is it time to think about What I want to say to the girls at the door? I need somewhere to be But I can't get around the river in front of me Calm down, it's alright Leave my arms the rest of the night When they ask what do I see I say a bright white beautiful heaven hanging over me I'm not alone (dead seriously) I'll never be (don't swallow the cap) And to the bone (pat yourself on the back) I'm evergreen (dead seriously) And if you want (dead seriously) To see me cry (don't swallow the cap) Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back) Or "Nevermind" (dead seriously)
