Might as well start to wrap this up
even though Friday is still far away
and I have no idea will she actually agree to meet me
these songs I make loom in the background
and if I'm lucky they might leave this room someday
and reach someone who might need a helping hand
Today a girl smiled at me on the street
don't know why but it suddenly made me feel pretty good
it's not much I know
but I guess it was just the thing I needed in my current sour mood
Guys I'll give you a piece of advice
Don't shave
Hell I could have gotten fired yesterday
but it doesn't really faze me like it might somebody else
all I care right now is these songs
believe me or not, I just don't care
I've literally been running home after work to get these done
like digging holes in some faraway garden
never knowing what might pop up next
there's no thrill like creating stuff
and while someone might come and knock over all the things you worked so hard to build
at least they were real for a moment
if not for anyone else, at least for you
I can already hear the melody coming in
now it's just finding out how the pieces fit together
after a while it's just like someone else is writing them
and you're free to put yourself aside and do whatever
no song has ever stopped the world from turning
so whatever man, do what you feel like
it's really not that big of a deal
I've already done multiple exorcisms on myself
and I'd say I feel a certain lightness
Stop trying so damn hard
Sometimes I just care too much of the species
whether it's New York or Senegal
Helsinki or Tokyo
We come a long way to stop now
but then again, love is all it takes
to stop us in our tracks
and make us go crazy
oh you're fucking crazy
throw it all out the window
I've been waiting for this for so long
to put so many expectations in to one single person
oh do you think the pressure might be too much?
