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 I came to my senses

Now I'm trying to be assertive

I'm making plans

Gonna 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 too hard to focus through all this doubt

I keep making these to-do lists but nothing gets crossed out

Working on the record seems pointless now

When the world ends who's gonna hear it?

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

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

When we get off tour I think we should

Hang and black out together

'Cause I been feeling sentimental for days gone by

All the summers singing, drinking, laughin

Wasting our time

Remember all the 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

How I long to be found

The grass grew high, I laid down

Now I'm waiting 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

Everything that happens is supposed to be

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

Guess I'll just keep moving

Someday maybe I'll get to where I'm going
