Short Movie
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.
I am paying for my mistake
That's okay
I don't mind a little pain
It's a short fucking movie, man
I know, I won't try and take it slow
Bottled water called a drought
Come on
what's that about?
Keep me sick to make me well
Come on, what the hell?
I got up in the world today wondered who it was I could save
Who do you think you are?
Just a girl, that can play guitar
I think I could get away with saying only half what I say
No, I can't give you up
Oh no, I'm not gonna stop
They know but they'll never know why
They know but they'll never know why
I don't know what we're afraid of, no
I don't mind
Oh no, I don't mind
If I fall in love to the sound of birds
on the wing and kids, I'm laughing
They know but they'll never know why
They know but they'll never know why
They know that I loved you but they don't know why
They know that I loved you but they'll never know why
It's kicking off
It's kicking off
It's a short fucking movie, man
It's a short fucking movie, man
It's a short fucking movie, man
It's a short fucking movie, man
I know, I won't try and take it slow
I know, I won't try and take it slow
