Pavement Tune
This situation's killing me
It's got me right under the thumb
I don't know where I want to be
This doesn't make no sense at all
You're quoting every single line
I spoke too much but I was old before my time, you told me
You see I want my life to make more sense
I want my life to make amends
I want my life to make more sense to me
This road is crooked cracked and wrong
They got the odds stacked nice and high
I don't know how they get along
And me, I internalize
And I can imagine what they'd say
Given the choice, if I could stay or walk away, I'm walking
You see I want my life to make more sense
I want my life to make amends
I want my life to make more sense
This how I got it (you turn it) you mean well (yeah alright)
We had it (your face) and I never wanted
To get (naked) it's alright (it's easy)
So it (keep fallin') will always be
Get old (the glasses) I promise (let's bring it)
We'll keep it forever in a bottle
I'm leaving, that's my brand, and your friends see
I want my life to make more sense
I want my life to make more sense to me
So let me take you by the hand
And lead you through this troubled mind
You said yourself, you had a plan
To get us all back to the line
We talk about it everyday
But we keep forgetting what it was we came to say
Now don't we?
You see I want my life to make more sense
I want my life to make amends
I want my life to make more sense to me
My life to make amends
You're rising to need us
The dawn of the leaders
The watching, and changing
The signs of conviction
The hours, the waiting
The tune of predicting
I'm hoping you're through it
I see you're turning into gold
It's got me right under the thumb
I don't know where I want to be
This doesn't make no sense at all
You're quoting every single line
I spoke too much but I was old before my time, you told me
You see I want my life to make more sense
I want my life to make amends
I want my life to make more sense to me
This road is crooked cracked and wrong
They got the odds stacked nice and high
I don't know how they get along
And me, I internalize
And I can imagine what they'd say
Given the choice, if I could stay or walk away, I'm walking
You see I want my life to make more sense
I want my life to make amends
I want my life to make more sense
This how I got it (you turn it) you mean well (yeah alright)
We had it (your face) and I never wanted
To get (naked) it's alright (it's easy)
So it (keep fallin') will always be
Get old (the glasses) I promise (let's bring it)
We'll keep it forever in a bottle
I'm leaving, that's my brand, and your friends see
I want my life to make more sense
I want my life to make more sense to me
So let me take you by the hand
And lead you through this troubled mind
You said yourself, you had a plan
To get us all back to the line
We talk about it everyday
But we keep forgetting what it was we came to say
Now don't we?
You see I want my life to make more sense
I want my life to make amends
I want my life to make more sense to me
My life to make amends
You're rising to need us
The dawn of the leaders
The watching, and changing
The signs of conviction
The hours, the waiting
The tune of predicting
I'm hoping you're through it
I see you're turning into gold
