lyrics

Verse 1:
Can music cure heart break?
I don't wanna know right now.
Am I really that dumb and naive?
Can I reflect on the things that get me by each day?
I'm a hole in the earth, a typhoon in the sea.
Chorus:
I turn my back for 20 minutes and you're gone.
I'd puke my guts up just to prove I've got some guts.
I'm more than a man.I'm more than a fool.
And I can't seem to bend...
One God forsakin rule.
Verse 2:
Show some class. Show the passion in those words you say up there.
You'll never know when someone's figuring you out.
I'll claw my way out of stupidity when I finally learn what's wrong.
You bat your eyes. Brush your teeth. Then make love in the floor.
Chorus 2:
I comb my hair for 30 minutes and it still sucks.
I critique these artists, just like everyone I know.
I'm more than a fraud.
I'm more than a chump.
I'm just an awkward kid who's caught in a slump.
Bridge 1:
You beat me down.
Take me with you when you go.
I'm too sad to show my face.
And I'm too lonely to go home.
Bridge 2:
Don't you know you're gonna be like everyone else?
You're a product of early adulthood misobediance.
Bridge 3:
It comes out of your mouth...
This excitement that I'll never understand.
We look so happy when they're standing on our toes.
It's just a test.
Don't worry, I never took it serious.
Bridge 4:
I don't wanna be your friend.
I don't wanna feel regret when everything's gone wrong.
I don't wanna win you back.
Opinions are set in and our opinions are so strong.
Outro:
The earth, it moves so slowly.
Our lives, they move so slowly.
