| Took a long trip to try to get it right
|
| They heard the crickets singing in the trees
|
| And the slow parade
|
| Of the whole thing coming down
|
| City lights were fireflys
|
| From the hill on the edge of town
|
| I know that you had to change and
|
| At the time I didn’t blame you
|
| I just sort of took it personal
|
| I think you like the taste of sugar coated rotten apples
|
| I think I look funny with that hat on
|
| People say the strangest things in the name of self defense
|
| I need your blood in my arms so I cut off all my limbs
|
| Right as I was changing realized I did
|
| «Shut your mouth, you stupid boy.
|
| You just don’t understand.»
|
| So I went looking for surrender
|
| Looking for pretenders
|
| Waiting all the time
|
| Had so much love that I didn’t know what to do
|
| So I wasted it (on petty crimes?)
|
| If you want to change then you gotta grow
|
| If you want to change then you gotta wait for it
|
| If you gotta change then you gotta grow
|
| If you gotta change then you gotta do it my way
|
| People say the strangest things in the name of self defense
|
| I need your blood in my arms so I cut off all my limbs
|
| Right as I was changing realized I did
|
| «Shut your mouth, you stupid boy.
|
| You just don’t understand.»
|
| I understand perfectly! |
