well, you could either think about it or not
i can never understand those things
it's things that just hurt me
who i am, where i  am, what time it is
it just hurts me

and i would never tell you to back off

i want you to wrap the feelings you feel into my arms that i don't tell you i care about
it's not your fault cause i don't tell you, and then i make that mean something

You’re so quiet all the time
It’s not funny in the way that i laugh

There’s only *** i have with you
It’s the only time i never speak out of turn
i stay in one place

I'm quiet, i’m quiet
I want you to grab my ***

I’m giving you all the things i can
I’m only feeling the things you put on my lap

I want to see everything that you show to everyone
There are naked yous among the other functional things you anticipate i won't understand
It’s the only reason i keep coming around

i'm only quiet about you and other things that matter

You’re so quiet all the time
It’s not funny in the way that i laugh


There’s only *** i have with you
It’s the only time i feel you
It’s the only time i feel good
It’s the only time i never speak out of turn

I'm quiet, i’m quiet
I want you to grab my ***

I’m giving you all the things i can
I’m only feeling things you throw on my lap

I want to see everything that you show to everyone
There are naked yous and some functional things i don’t understand
It’s the only reason i keep coming around
It’s the reason i want you around

i'm only quiet about you and other things that matter

purple colored intentions
and everyone is stopping
tomorrow is being thought of a lot today
so much,  i'm almost uncomfortable- crawling in my skin

looking at your humble abode
with every plate in its allotted plate holder
and i don't even know what those are, so i feel pretty good;
you probably still feel good

i woke up today- so content with myself
something i usually do

but i don't have a yard
or anything to hold my plates
and i wash them alone,

get interested in whatever's going on,
because it's what's going on
get interested in whatever interests the people you love;
find out why you love them.
get a point of view, keep it-
until you wanna change it, cause you're smart.
Stay smart, but more quiet than loud.

people die every day
just don't walk around that way

we're line crossers, but we're trying
we've always been line crossers
and i've never not wanted

but, we're line crossers
so it's just better not to draw,
or do, or powder your nose with them, for that matter.
it's just better to wear what momma tells you

i'll leave though, cause i'm trying to grow up
i'll leave cause i remember "one more time in the bathroom"
and how it only used to be okay

and it's hard cause i know i'd do it all anyway
it's hard cause i Used to be interesting,
and interested

but we're line crosses, or we 'were'?
tenses confuse me, only lately

"the oppressed will always free the oppressors"
the blind will always see sober, while we claim their sobriety
i will always have that on you
i will always have you on me

it's been done, it's been done
by more than just the people
it's been funny before,
it's been a play on words before,
and i don't cry over freedom

what's the difference between you and the sheep you're herding
follow every impulse, until you're naked
there is no difference.
and that,
is the problem with you
and that,
is the beauty with you
