Lyrics

Before I ever settle down
I need a few rules I need to pick from the ground
For starters I?m not cut out for lack of reliance and abundance of doubt
Plus I?m really struggling with the words to say

Let me start over again
You?re looking at me like I could never begin
It?s not that I?m reaching in
In fact it?s the opposite my reach is too sinned
Plus I?m really struggling with the words to say

Hey I went down to the city
And I lost my breath getting ready
Just to pass the test of the stories
Hey I went down to the country
With exhaust I held myself steady
With the loss of all inventory
And its never gonna get you down

Body in a faceless crowd
Surrenders and screams give me hand me downs
(whistle solo)
Plus I?m really struggling with the words to say

Hey I went down to the city
And I lost my breath getting ready
Just to pass the test of the stories
Hey I went down to the country
And all exhaust was unsteady
Just the last of all inventory
And its never gonna get you dwon
Never gonna get you down
Never gonna get you down
Never gonna get you down

Hey I went down to the city
And I lost my breath getting ready
Just to pass the test of the stories
Hey I went down to the country
And all exhaust was unsteady
Just the last of all inventory
And its never gonna get you down
