I was sure I didn't need their help
I came close to making matters worse
Quitting when they choose to cheer me on
Unify the reasons why they win
Hipster virtue micro managing
Live without you, live without a scene
Underrated, overrated themes
I caught you in the trend that never streams
Lovely nook I found and settled in
Wait, this is the town I grew up in
Thought I escaped every little painful thought
I keep on pushing, hustle for a trim

If I could only move you like the movies you wouldn't spend time latching on
Maybe then I would plaster a fresh collection of voodoo paintings on the wall
Send forth your best of wishes, I could use them to pay you back any time I want
Maybe then I would gather a set of new rules to rig elections of my own kind
You traded rags for riches, petty wisdom
You're living off what your parents gave
You pray for steady wages and celebrations
A clear incentive to run around
You know these days are precious
They are means to a better end if you read between
Then why do days feel wasted and never rested?
I guess we'll settle for good company

The river obeyed and I jumped in
Meanwhile at home her managers left
Lay, lay by the fire
Cozy up - feel her love radiate
Stay awake, you're inside the lion's den
Pray, pray for her now
She'll make due without her medicine
Mean, mean well today
For tomorrow we'll meet the lioness

Here to meet you but I send a note instead
With the laughter and the language I reset
Your highness, I deliver thee my scroll
My fascination with your skill now aches my bones
Forever late, forever late to the party
Forever late to the party
I am idle like a rock beneath the waves
Imagination is a gift I can't betray

Somewhere focused on herself
Retired to the land she owns
Only twirls upward, smiling as she climbs
Tending to her sky
A village queen on Sunday, a warrior on Monday
Married a token loner - somewhere I feel so holy
Cut to present
I flounder daily
She may be a friend but I wish she knew me
I wish she knew herself
The master bedroom sits above
Descending on our manger's mud
Her grip inside me runs amok
I need to tell her I'm in love, but I won't - no I won't
I live alone in my little world
Surrounded by her glowing whirl
I may renown her troubled stunts
Can she believe in what's to come? She won't, no she won't
So let go, let go
Tell me why, tell me how, tell me when, tell me now
Behold the love that leads you on
It cheats, it hides, it rolls along
You must not aggravate this song
It's all you got when you're led on - you're young
So move on, move on
Tell me why, tell me how, tell me when, tell me now
