Intro
Verse 1
I
can't recall the
last time that we
talked
About
anything but
looking out for
cops
We got
cigarette burns in the
same side of our
hands
We ain't friends, we're just
morons
Who broke
skin in the same
spot
But I've
never seen you
take a turn that
wide
And I'm
high enough to
still care if I
die
So I
tried to read the
thoughts that you'd worked
overtime to stop
You said, "Fuck
off," and I said
nothin' for a
while
Pre-Chorus
You know I think
about you all the time
And my deep misunder
standing of your life
And how bad it must have
been for you back then
And how hard it was to
keep it all inside
Chorus
I hope you settle down, I
hope you marry
ric
h
I hope you're scared of only
ordinary shit
Like murderers and ghosts and
cancer on your
ski
n
And not your soul and what
He might do with it
Interlude
Verse 2
You
inched yourself
across the great divide
While we drove
aimlessly a
long the Twin
State
line
I heard
nothing
but the
bass in every
ballad that you'd play
While you
swore to God the
singer read
your mind
But the
world is scared of
hesitating
things
Yeah, they
only shoot the
birds who cannot
sing
And I'm
finally a
ware of how
shitty and unfair
It was to
stare ahead like
everything was
fine
Pre-Chorus
You know I think a
bout you all the time
And my deep misunder
standing of your life
And how bad it must have
been for you back then
And how hard it was to
keep it all in
side
Chorus
I hope you settle down, I
hope you marry
ric
h (Oh-oh)
I hope you're scared of only
ordinary shit (Oh-oh)
Like murderers and ghosts and
cancer on your
ski
n (Oh-oh)
And not your soul and what
He might do with it
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-oh
Bridge
Rage,
in small
ways
Did you wish that I could
know
That
you'd fade
to some place
I wasn't brave enough to
go?
Chorus
I hope you settle down, I
hope you marry rich
I hope you're scared of only
ordinary shit
Like murderers and ghosts and
cancer on your skin
And not your soul and what
He might do with it
[Post-Chorus]
Ah (Ah),
woah
Ah
Ah,
Lord
Ah
Outro
I hope you threw a brick right
into that stained
gla
ss
I hope you're with someone who
isn't scared to ask
I hope that you're not losing
sleep about what's
nex
t
Or about your soul and what
He might do with it
