lyrics

i shouldn’t keep running away from my problems but whenever i face ‘em head on, it goes wrong, and i’m scared to death of dying before i get to kiss someone, and telling you i’m not as brave as you think i am

maybe if the sun didn’t make me ache
maybe then i’d be fine

what do you know, it’s raining on the west coast and this is no time for romance, the only dance is the mood swing, i am trying to be gentle this year, it’s not really working.

maybe if i wasn’t into politics
maybe then i wouldn’t cry

i wish i was sensitive, i wish i was subtler, i wish i was louder, i wish i could love without my shitty inhibitions and my haughty self-image, i'd rather be an evergreen than a realist

maybe if i listened to criticism
i’m still trying to grow

you told me the only way out is through so why the hell are my hands still so clean, i’m scared of trying and missing the mark and speaking too loudly and changing and growing and doing my laundry

maybe we’ll pretend to be explorers
building a world of our own

i wish we all lived like absurdists
knowing the cosmos don’t give a shit
but we do
yeah we do

i wish we all lived like absurdists
knowing the cosmos don’t give a shit
but we do
yeah we do

i wish we all lived like absurdists
knowing the cosmos don’t give a shit
but we do
yeah we do

[i shouldn’t keep running away from my problems but whenever i face ‘em head on, it goes wrong, and i’m scared to death of dying before i get to kiss someone, and telling you i’m not as brave as you think i am...]
