"Don´t Swallow The Cap"
Pull out 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 upright
Hit my head up on the light
I have faith but don´t believe you
This love ain´t enough to leave you.
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.
Throw my marbles in the fight.
I see all the ones I wept 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.
Into the bone,
I´ll never grieve.
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 see a bright white beautiful heaven hangin´ over me.
I´m not alone,
I´ll never be.
Into the bone,
I´ll never grieve.
And if you want, (too seriously)
To see me cry. (don´t swallow the cap)
Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back)
Or "Nevermind". (too seriously)
There´s a time to leave, there´s a time to think about
What I wanna say to the girls at the door.
I need somewhere to be
But I can´t get around the river in front of me.
Come down, it´s alright,
Lead my arms the rest of the night.
When they ask what do I see,
I see a bright white beautiful heaven hangin´ over me.
I´m not alone, (too seriously)
I´ll never be. (don´t swallow the cap)
Into the bone, (pat yourself on the back)
I´ll never grieve (too seriously)
And if you want, (too seriously)
To see me cry, (don´t swallow the cap)
Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back)
Or "Nevermind". (too seriously)
