Don't Swallow the Cap |
| 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 upright |
| Hit my head up on 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 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 |
| 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 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 |
| Calm down, it’s alright |
| Lead 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) |
