lyrics

Got a lot to say but I rarely say it. Don’t want it to come out the wrong way. I’ve got a lot to do but I rarely do it. Don’t want it to turn out the wrong way.

But I think I’ll be alright. Cause when I do something I’ll do it right, not just for me but many times for you.

Don’t like to think cause I think too much. Life gets too hard and I lose my touch.
I don’t like to try cause I try too much. I gave a lot but just not enough.

But I think I’ll be alright. Cause when I do something I’ll do it right, not just for me but many times for you.
And there’s just one problem there, I wish you weren’t standing where I’d like to be so I can go about my day.

And all the time my mind is racing. There are many nights I just can’t sleep.
But tonight I lay here, while the world is spinning rapidly but I’ll get some rest by morning, hopefully.

Don’t like to talk cause I talk too much. There’s a part of listening, that’s knowing what I said. I don’t wanna work cause I work too much. I’d rather be in so many other spots.

But in the corner of my yard, there exists this hidden quiet place where I could get away and look up at the stars.
But tonight I lay here, while the world is spinning rapidly but I’ll get some rest by morning, hopefully.
