lyrics
I don't know where you learned how to grow up
But they didn't raise you like they raised me
You must have burned a thousand ants 'neath a magnifying glass
While I was reading books and climbing trees
And when I'm eating lunch and I see you on the street
I can hear you sighing in my ear
And the question remains like the cold winter rain
Is that how you treat somebody after the years?
And in my year long fever dream you hate your next door neighbor
Because she's got a sweet spot for my songs
So when she starts to playing this one I hope it makes your floorboards rumble
I hope my words will keep you up till dawn
You stand a head shorter than me
So it doesn't hurt as much when you fall
But I can't always pick myself up
Dust myself off
So I'm glad I didn't give it my all.
