And if you want (dead seriously)
And to the bone (pat yourself on the back)
But I can't get around the river in front of me
Calm down, it's alright
I need somewhere to be
I need somewhere to stay
I'll never be (don't swallow the cap)
I'm evergreen
I'm not alone
I'm not alone (dead seriously)
Is it time to leave? Is it time to think about
Leave my arms the rest of the night
Play Let It Be (pat yourself on the back)
Play Let It Be (pat yourself on the back)
Tiny bubbles hang above me
To see me cry (don't swallow the cap)
When it gets so late I forget everyone
When they ask what do I see
When they ask what do I see
With all my marbles in the fight
