Give me something to hold on to
give me shelter beyond this roof
I could string three words together now
but would it make it true
and if we used words like forever how
would we see them through?
Give me something to look forward too
Tell me something that you know is true
If I yelled out what I'm feeling how would it be misconstrued?
If I could only figure it all out then I'd know what to do.
I could deconstruct myself
until the pieces are small enough for you to chew
but you're a million miles ahead and I'd be lying if I said;
I'll catch up to you.
I've been trying
and so have you
I'd be lying if I said I knew
where any of this shit is going now, I aint got a clue
but I'll pull myself out of this wreckage somehow
before I am consumed
I could deconstruct myself
until the pieces are small enough for you to chew
but you're a million miles ahead and I'd be lying if I said;
I'll catch up to you.
