lyrics

sunrises or sunsets
none of us knew
we were still sleeping
glowing blue
like barbicide
you’d know things aren’t right
if you could only read my mind
well I don’t know
guess time will show

don’t know you much at all
or what you’ll grow into
it’s only just begun

you’ve chosen a lifetime
of wait and see
we are at full capacity
with strangers
where’s the danger, man?
I used to be your biggest fan
your disposition
was never built to last
lots of stray ends to untangle
before we’ll let you go

don’t know you much at all
(maybe we all just pretend)
or what you’ll grow into
(we’ll make them understand)
we’ve only just begun
(darling don’t stare or you’ll go blind)
to make our worst mistakes
(what’s wrong with just being kind?)
it’s okay it’s okay
don’t be afraid
