Lyrics
Forever 28
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 can see the mystery of you and me will never quite add up
No one is your perfect fit
I do not believe in that shit
Don't you know that every bubble bursts
Kill me
I'm aware you can't repair a light bulb
What's your dart board history
It's not a phase
The doughnut glaze
Will rot your teeth
And leave you crazed
Time to drag your dead heels in the dirt
It just might hurt
It just might hurt
You've seen the action that comes in the flood
The wait now is over
You're stuck in the mud
I was made to mock charades
To call spades spades
When will it level off
Such a buzzkill yes I am
I kill momentum when I can
There's no parade I cannot rain on with my poison eyes
Kill me
Lurking in the shadow of the good life
What's real for you is real pretend
Play the turtle to the hare
Soon enough it's everywhere
Get it over
Win and just converse
It just might hurt
It just might hurt
You've seen the action that comes in the flood
The wait now is over
You're stuck in the mud
