Shortcut
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.
Kind of upset but
I shouldn't be
When things go smoothly invent problems in my stupid head
What's wrong with getting by on what gets you by
I know it's no big deal but why do
I feel stupid when head my is happy
What happened to my imagination?
How can things be so un-intense?
Can I arrange to be deranged thought?
I might be thereforgot the shortcut there
I know I won't be there forgot the shortcut there thought
I might be there thought
I was already there but forgot the shortcut there
I know
I won't be there
I know
I've never been there forgot the shortcut there
