I know this is a simply story
But where you're gonna hear another one
Just like this?
Another minute passing
Waiting up for something I hear
And then I start to exist when you are looking for me
While I have to leave will make your thoughts all burn
Maybe I need to be, I'm so good
To figure out just what all this means to you
I should have prayed of something
Should have said something then but it's too late
I know this is a simply story
Gonna have to be a man someday
Let's start a vicious cycle
Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass
But then I disappear
I show up a few days later
With my foot in the trap
Burning soul in my heart that's bleeding
I'm howling at the moon just
Hoping someone understand
That I only came in the season
When I smack the boat on the wind
And had the beat of the bat
I know I'd give my reasons
To give you something, oh to give me
Something to believe
Why do I even need this?
Gonna have to do what I'd be do
Just like a fucking teenage summer
Some things down the cracks off???
But it's not just the hymn about it
I might have to throw up things
To keep me up on the path
Like it's only in time and distance
You're in the park box out of can even when outside
You're just off the town and my way
Gonna have to sleep, it's too loud
Let's start a vicious cycle
Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass
But then I disappear
I show up a few days later
With my foot in the trap
Burning soul in my heart that's bleeding
I'm howling at the moon just hoping
Someone understand
That I only came in the season
When I smack the boat on the wind
And had the beat of the bat
I know it's just a feeling
Shouldn't even have these thoughts, but it's too late
I know it's a simple story
Gonna have to be a man someday
