lyrics

You know it's all too much for me
Every single thing I see
Could be beautiful
Could be obscene
And I know it's not so strange
Just a little bit cliché...
When I'm in millennial company

So kiss me on a Saturday night
Don't leave me when I cry
And I'll show you the face of "I'm alright"
That's the little white lie: I tell you I'm fine
Don't act so surprised
Just keep your head up above the water line

Can't see the forest or the trees
Whatever coloring you please
It ain't so different to me
Ya know, these days...
I'd rather feel nothing

All the good and the bad ends up in the same place
Don't want pleasure of pain
Filled up with novocaine
If you know what I'm about, there's nothing left to say
Oh no...

You know it's all too much for me
Even as we live and breathe
Could be wonderful
Could be ugly
So sometimes I don't want a lover
I don't want a friend
Just wanna be okay in the end

Can't see the forest or the trees
Whatever coloring you please
It ain't so different to me
And after all of this time
I have no reason left to rhyme
I'm pulled up at the borderline
Well sometimes...
Ya know, I'd rather feel

All the good and the bad ends up in the same place
Don't want pleasure of pain
Filled up with novocaine
If you know what I'm about, there's nothing left to say
Oh no...

One day,
Your sweet tooth turns sour
Your cute face looks dour
Can't fight back the hours
So I say...
Neither summer showers
Nor springs blooming flowers
Could give me the power to say something better for you

All the good and the bad ends up in the same place
Don't want pleasure of pain
Filled up with novocaine
If you know what I'm about, there's nothing left to say
Oh no...
