lyrics

i made a nest of the things that i loved as a child / to protect me from the things i love now / i can't make it through a day without forcing a smile / and questioning the few things i've found / that make me happy that i'm still alive / like staying up singing songs till sunrise / it ain't easy to war with the ghosts on your mind / cause it would be so goddamn easy to die

so goddamn easy to die

kelly says i am a good-hearted man / one any girl would be lucky to have / a wife and a baby was always my plan / in the suburbs, with a blue minivan / but when i see all the things that folks give up on / just to pass on a bit of their genes / i think i'm better off trying to write these damn songs / while somewhere chuck darwin is laughing at me

chuck darwin is laughing at me

so i take a deep breath / and i count to ten / and when i open my eyes, i'll be a better friend / to those who care about me / even when i think they shouldn't / and i'll learn to be different / even though i know i couldn't / and if i can / well, i don't know how

i gotta know if there's a new place that i'd rather be / or if they're all the same / i gotta know if there's a lone drop of hope left for me / or if not one remains
