Lyrics
Jesse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And you can take it all
But without me, it means nothing at all
Be the king of the world
But those mountains you climbed, they won't show
Oh Jesse you don't know what you're worth
You're sinking to the bottom and you'll die with the earth
Oh Jesse you don't know what you could do
With that heart
You could beat it
But you fall like a sheep to the herd
Best believe that you'll be coming around
When you're not so low
Is there darkness in the garden
Jesse I don't know
But don't wash their names
Wash them from your throat
And you can break it all
If you want to
There'll be nothing at all
Cheat yourself and laugh
In the face of somebody you once loved
Oh Jesse you don't know what you're worth
You're sinking to the bottom and you'll die with the earth
Oh Jesse you don't know what you could do
With that heart
You could beat it
But you fall like a sheep to the herd
Best believe that you'll be coming around
When you're not so low
Is there darkness in the garden
Jesse I don't know
But don't wash their names
Wash them from your throat
And you can take it all
If you want to
There'll be nothing at all
Be the king of the world
But those mountains you climbed, they won't show
