Bright Eyes - Nothing Gets Crossed Out lyrics
[Bright Eyes - Nothing Gets Crossed Out lyrics]
Well, the future has got me worried
Such awful thoughts
My head is a carousel of pictures
The spinning never stops
I just want someone to walk in front
And I'll follow the leader
Like when I fell under the
Weight of a schoolboy crush
Started carrying her books and
Doing lots of drugs
I almost forgot who I was
But came to my senses
Now I'm tryin' to be assertive
I'm making plans
Wanna rise to the occasion, yeah
Meet all of their demands
But all I do is just lay in bed
And hide under the covers
Yeah, I know I should be brave
But I'm just too afraid of all this change
And it's too hard to focus
Through all this doubt
I keep making these "To Do" lists
But nothing gets crossed out
Working on the record seems pointless now
When the world ends, who's gonna hear it?
But Im tryin' and take some
Comfort in written words
Yeah Tim I heard your album
And it's better than good
When you get off tour I think we
Should hang and black out together
Because I've been feeling sentimental
For days gone by all those summers singing
Drinking, laughing, wasting our time
Remember all those songs and
The way we smiled
In those basements made of music
But now I've got to crawl
To get anywhere at all
I'm not as strong as I thought
So when I'm lost in a crowd
I hope that you'll pick me out
Oh, how I long to be found
The grass grew high i laid down
Now I wait for a hand to lift me up
Help me stand i have been laying so low
Don't want to lay here no more
Don't want to lay here no more
Don't want to lay here no more
Don't want to lay here no more
But if everything that happens
Is supposed to be and it is predetermined
Can't change your destiny
Then I guess I'll just
Keep moving, someday, maybe
I'll get to where I'm going
Such awful thoughts
My head is a carousel of pictures
The spinning never stops
I just want someone to walk in front
And I'll follow the leader
Like when I fell under the
Weight of a schoolboy crush
Started carrying her books and
Doing lots of drugs
I almost forgot who I was
But came to my senses
Now I'm tryin' to be assertive
I'm making plans
Wanna rise to the occasion, yeah
Meet all of their demands
But all I do is just lay in bed
And hide under the covers
Yeah, I know I should be brave
But I'm just too afraid of all this change
And it's too hard to focus
Through all this doubt
I keep making these "To Do" lists
But nothing gets crossed out
Working on the record seems pointless now
When the world ends, who's gonna hear it?
But Im tryin' and take some
