To Be Tough Lyrics

Sometimes my thoughts are in three part harmony

I can't quite hear one clear tune

The tonal rules broken and I listen carefully

I hope the beat won't drop too soon

I wonder if every great day will be poisoned

By the chance of it turning around

What if I spread disease and an ocean of noise

And my feet never reach solid ground?

I've never been ungrateful

That's one thing you'll learn if you talk to me long

Ask me about all the people

I love, but wonder if they know

When I grow up, I want to be tough

I'm floor sitting Thursday, I feel a bit nauseous

The wood grounds me when I float

I'm humming a famous old funeral song cautiously

But I have to pause to clear my throat

Please can the dreams go away?

I want to want to stay

I'm finally breaking the habit

I made, forgot and forgave

Hand me a guitar, all I can do is play

I'm reaching for something to hold

Talking to walls in the dark

I'm trying to be more bold

But I'm free falling, still hide all my cards

Maybe they're telling the truth

I should try to be less combative

Maybe I'll start to improve

Start feeling less radioactive

Keep a light on I'm on my way home

I know curfew was hours ago

I'll still find new people to hold

In the afterglow, you already know

I'm finally ready, I want to go home
