Lyrics
Mayonaise
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.
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June
Try
And ease the pain somehow
We'll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go
I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream
I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream
And I fail
But when I can
I will
Try to understand
That when I can
I will
Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad
When I can
I will
Words defy the plans
When I can
I will
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I'll always feel this
No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When I can
I will
Try to understand
That when I can
I will
