Bright Eyes - Nothing Gets Crossed Out lyrics

Well, the future's got me worried, such awful thoughts

My head's a carousel of pictures

The spinning never stops

I just want someone to walk in front

And I'll follow the leader

Like when I fell under the weight of a schoolboy crush

Started carrying her books and doing lots of drugs

I almost forgot who I was, but came to my senses

Now I'm trying to be assertive, I'm making plans, want to rise to the occasion, yeah, meet all their demands

But all I do is just lay in bed and hide under the covers

Yeah, I know I should be brave

But I'm just too afraid of all this change

And it's hard to focus through all this doubt

I keep making this "To Do" list but nothing gets crossed out

Working on the record seems pointless now

When the world ends, who's gonna hear it?

Well I'm trying to take some comfort in written words

Yeah, Tim I heard your album and it's better than good

When you get off tour I think we should hang and black out together

'Cause I've been feeling sentimental for days gone by

All those summers singing, drinking, laughing, wasting our time

Remember all those songs and the way we smiled, in those basements made of music

But now I've got to crawl

To get anywhere at all

I'm not as strong as I thought

So when I'm lost in a crowd

I hope that you'll pick me out

Oh, how I, I long to be found

The grass grew high, I laid down

Now I, wait for a hand to lift me up, help me stand

I've been laying so low

Don't wanna lay here no more

Don't wanna lay here no more

Don't wanna lay here no more

Don't wanna lay here no more

No more...more...

But if everything that happens is supposed to be

And it's all predetermined, can't change your destiny

I guess I'll just keep moving, someday, maybe, I'll get to where I'm going
