So they say, hey kid
Why can't you keep your head up?
Please stop pleading
And start acting like yourself
Well, who the hell is that anyway?
So with no signs of relief
I seem to see more sense
In holding hands with the dead
While I lay alone, while I lay below
The photos, the milestones
'Cause my friend told me
She'll settle deep
Like a pain in the palm of your hand
Can't you see, man, it's not all that easy
'Cause I, I don't know
I don't know what love means
No, I don't know what love means
At least let me see
The golden road that you promised
Just give me back
My jaded heart that you've stolen
You left me high and dry
What good is wax
Without a wick to burn it all away
What good is hope when all you've left me
Is a fabricated fair weather phrase
'Cause my friend told me
She'll settle deep
Like a pain in the palm of your hand
Can't you see, man, it's not all that easy
'Cause I, I don't know
Maybe I'm just a kid
Maybe I've sunken into some quarter life crisis
I don't know
Maybe it is this weight
Darkness that makes me shake
Keeps us all alive
I don't know
'Cause my friend told me
She'll settle deep
Like a pain in the palm of your hand
Can't you see, man, it's not all that easy
'Cause my friend told me
She'll settle deep
Like a pain in the palm of your hand
Can't you see, man, it's not all that easy
'Cause I, I don't know, I don't know
