I don't know what to say anymore
I feel like it's all been done before
Even the words I say
Some dumb cliche, I heard yesterday
I can't run anymore
Or maybe I can, but I choose to ignore
Cause I'd rather be doing something fun
In other words, dumb
In other words,
Anything but that Goddamn run
I'd rather be doing something fun
Times before,
Sculpted words and thoughts
To bring us there, in metaphors
With a simple chorus
To make us think of Love
I love
My Love
I don't think I'm okay anymore
I feel like I've lived this life before
Even the words I say
I swear to God
I said this shit yesterday
And I can't fly anymore
I know that I can
Cause I've done it before
Maybe I'm making this up in my head,
I could care less
Cause I know that I'll break down
If I find out how
The Earth keeps spinning around the Sun
Regardless of who I become
So I'll calm down
Times before,
Sculpted words and thoughts
To bring us there in metaphors
With a simple chorus to make us think of Love
I love
My Love
So here's those same two chords again
I'll go home, and I'll get stoned again
I found a million ways
To spend my days
But I've forgotten them
And I'll break down
If I find out how
The Earth keeps spinning around the Sun
Regardless of who I become
So I'll calm down
