The Rocket Summer

hear me
when i speak
and just listen
and try not to be
some kind of self-righteous high being
with the opposite mislead me
to better your mind and see
this is a story
of how we can't be
they're building you up to tear you down
they won't admit it but its true
smiling advice to end with your frown
cuz they don't want what's best for you
its sad i know i know
but you know i'm something else
and now's my time to just sit back and tell
*that you don't know just when to stop
you're living life to be on top
so stop actin, be real
and just admit the way you feelin'
see we are all one big learning game
and its true that
we all want to be the baddest
we all have a little baggage
even though we hide it
and we always will deny it
we are driving this float down Main
in this pride parade
and i'm not saying that i'm any better than you
sometimes i have motives that are just so stupid
and i play the fool
but man you're killing me
the charade has got to end
so stop acting like you know everything
because you're missing the point
you were supposed to be my friend
*
i don't i don't know know
just try just try
to lean away
take me to another place
where i know i know
what's happening
to my head and to my dreams
cuz i want i want
i need i need
some piece of mind and clarity
so just take take my hand
and let's leave
*
ohhh ohhh ohhh...
ba da da da...
