Yellow Jackets

You need thicker skin or you'll get knocked out
Like you're in a fight but losing the bout
If that's how you're navigating life
Then I can't trust a word from your mouth

Must be nice to win from inside your house
Safe, hidden away from pesky clouds
Most of all you don't feel any of the rain
Everything that happens to you is a list you made
Of course fighting's a winning battle
If you're looking at it that way

Good luck getting where you're going
You've got a lot of difficult shaking to do
You're not mistaken, it's supposed
To keep changing and if you
Need a blanket, I could be that for you

If you're the first to see a star should you give it a name?
Or is it taming something that should not be tamed
Like a tiny diamond in a beach of sand
I wouldn't know its story if it was in my hand
Oh I'd rather have there be
Some beauty that I can't understand

Good luck getting where you're going
You've got a lot of difficult shaking to do
You're not mistaken, it's supposed
To keep changing and if you
Need a blanket, I could be that for you

What used to keep me warm
Just won't seem to catch
So I roll up my sleeve and as I leave
I use my skin to light the match
You're tricking me
And I'm worried that it's working
Because I'm feeling something burning
And nothing here has been up to code

Good luck getting where you're going
You've got a lot of difficult shaking to do
You're not mistaken, it's supposed
To keep shaking and if you
Need a blanket, I could be that-
Good luck getting where you're going
You've got a lot of difficult changing to do
You're not mistaken, it's supposed
To keep shaking and if you
Need a blanket, I could be that for you
