I tried to listen but, not to talk.
I tried to stand but, not to walk.
Open eyes & capsize, how we go wide.
If you don't, then you can't.
Then don't go outside.
I won't endure you so don't be there.
Don't just ignore me. Don't stop & stare.
How to live, how to care, how to go . . . where?
When you love it's so real that it's unfair.
Something I've know, something I've seen
wants to haunt me & dare me right now to disagree.
With eyes closed, I believe.
I can believe.
I can't believe.
But, sun's up & we're just kids & I don't own a child.
What you want ain't what you get, on & on
& the radio keeps playin' hits.
Please don't turn the dial.
Don't know if you exist?
Well, walk a mile just fielding offers for more.
