Will Wood - Love, Me Normally lyrics
[Will Wood - Love, Me Normally lyrics]
In lipstick on the mirror are
The lyrics to my obituary
In iambic pentameter, followed
Parameter, cross my eyes, dot my T's
I was delivered holding scissors
I live deliberately, i’m a quitter
And a winner anyway, cause I never agreed to
Participate in this game
Won't follow my dreams
'cause they all got me waking up screaming
I can’t let them go for me, after all
There is no "I" in team
And I'd rather be normal, yes, so normal
I suggest that we keep this informal
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be
C’mon, c’mon, and love me normally
If I could live in third person, well
I don’t think life would be
Much worse than it is
In the current tense, presently
This sentence ending
In question marks or dot, dot, dot
Is it courageous or escapist to leave
The quarantine when you’re contagious?
It may just be a cold, and
Besides I don’t wanna get old, yeah
I drank myself to death to be
The afterlife of the party
When the afterparty came
I was rolling in my grave
And I'd rather be normal, yes, so normal
I suggest that we keep this informal
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
To be normal in a way I couldn’t be
C’mon, c’mon, and love me normally
Now this is the part of the song where
I like to talk to my audience
I like to tell 'em there's something I
Want from you hep cats tonight
I want you to look to your left, look to your
Right, your 12 o'clock, three o'clock
Six o'clock, nine o'clock
Rock around the clock tonight
And I want you to find those
Points of no return, those singularities
Those burning rings of fire
In the beautiful pupils
And the beautiful eyes of the
Beautiful boy, girl, neither, both
Or in between that you
Brought with you tonight
And I want you to tell
'em how you really feel
I want you to love the way they so
Seamlessly, like a dream for
Me, so beautifully
Oh-so-dutifully jam that square peg in the
Round hole in their hearts
I want you to tell 'em that you love the way
That they don't stick out
Like sore middle fingers
That they crawl their way up the side of the
Bell curve, stick their flag in the peak
And slide their way back down
I want you to tell them that you love the way
That they're not maladaptive, not malcontent
Not malignant or maleficent
But rather that you love them exactly
The way that everybody else is
I was nothing before
So I couldn’t have asked to be born
I'll be nothing again
So what am I between now and then?
Is there nothing to fear?
Cause shit's getting weird
So to God who made this man
You better have one hell of a plan
And I'd rather be normal, yes, so normal
I suggest that we keep this informal
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need, no
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
Well, I guess that's the least that I owe ya
To be normal in a way I could never be
C’mon, c’mon, yeah, I said c’mon, yeah
C’mon, c’mon, yeah, I said c’mon, yeah
C’mon, c’mon, and love me normally
C'mon, c'mon and love me normally
