Sometimes it’s hard to say I quit / When no one else is gunna notice it
Like a letter that’s just been lit / I wanna tell you how I feel
Sometimes it’s hard to say I’m done / When I know I am the only one
Who will believe all the songs I’ve sung / I wanna tell you how I feel
When the daylight slips away too fast / And the moonlight never seems to last/ and your whole life’s a full body cast in the pose
Of a body in disobedient craze / A disconnect of the means and ways
A habit built at a roman’s pace / Oh my god I’d love a drink
Sometimes it’s hard to do as you feel / Sometimes hard to feel if the feel is real /I’d turn myself into an ideal But come on, Chris, you know it’s hard
To be exactly who you are and / Admit that you just want a star
Hanging in the sky / Saying that one’s mine!
When the daylight slips away too fast / And the moonlight never seems to last / And your whole life’s a full body cast in the pose
Of indifference stretched across your face / creation at a turtle’s pace
A complete capitulation to a way you just can’t know
I try not to be too hard on myself cause really now what’s the point?
I try not to be too hard - cause really, what’s the...
When the daylight slips away too fast / And the moonlight never seems to last / It’s your whole life I just don’t know
When the daylight / And the moonlight
It’s your your whole life I just don’t know
I just don’t kn-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow so I am gunna quit
