Lyrics
La Penita
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.
Sitting here like forty ounces
Waiting to be drunk
I always seem to want what i don't want
It's more than i can handle
Still i want another shot
Even without it , five minutes from now
I'll find i can't stand up
On the edge , i've been there
And it's just as crowded as back home
Though the waves are strong
It's easy enough to swim on back to the shore
Sometimes , couldn't my eyes just stay at home ?
'cause sometimes
Seeing doesn't see me through
Someday maybe someday
Couldn't we take all our mirrors down
'cause sometimes seeing doesn't see me through
I'd love to believe you
When i say always and all ways :)
But from what i've seen
You can't see me through
There's a question in your head
Though you're thinking
"not this time"
Don't be afraid to ask
Don't be afraid to care
