These Things
Verse 1:
“Take a load off” he said and smiled
I never thought we’d be so close
I never thought we’d be so mild
He sipped from his cup, lifted his finger
To point at the rain outside
To point at the stars in my eyes
But then again
I’m naïve to the core as always
But then instead
I’m gonna go sit in the hallway
Chorus:
Come to think of it
I don’t think I think anymore
Subject and predicate
Everything just seems like a chore
But then I find
That life is one big party
But I can’t pay the fee
Why do these things always happen to me?
Verse 2:
So he sleeps and grinds his teeth
I never thought I’d be so bored
I never did the piece by piece
He tossed and turned, snorted and made it seem
To make the world run and hide
But I can’t because I lay beside
To tell the truth
I keep wishing that things could be better
It’s because of you
That I’ve begun to never say never
(Chorus)
Bridge:
And so I dream
My escape from you
It’s not all what it seems
And so I soar
You’re beautiful when you’re not talking
This is easier than walking
I want to stay right where I am
Because I can
(Chorus)
And so to see me…
And so to breathe me…
And so to love me…
Just forget that I exist…
