Lantern Lyrics

You hope for april money showers

As you gave into your greed

Tried to meet you with compassion

In the pot I plant a seed

Now my will is being tested

'Cause you're barking up my tree

Oh no, no

A case of nurture vs. nature

And I fear I've been too kind

Too forgiving to my lovers

When it comes to love, I'm blind

I'm a doormat closing doors

And for a better frame of mind

Oh no, no, no

Oh no

And so I put the foot to pavement, misty skies

Learning how to say goodbye

Every time I try to go

Someone's asking me to stay

I am not your lantern in the fog

Find your own way

Oh look who's floating in my orbit

Nice to see you, how you been

Mr. Hollow, Mrs. Such and Such

Subjectively a friend

The adult in me knows better

But the kid will play pretend, oh no

I'm a precocious people pleaser

Put their pleasure over mine

And I'm jumping at my shadow

When I straighten up my spine

Now the shell shock got me

In the war I have resigned, oh no

And so I put the foot to pavement, misty skies

Learning how to say goodbye

Every time I try to go

Someone's asking me to stay

But I am not your lantern in the fog

Find your own way

Every time I try to go

Someone's asking me to stay

I am not your lantern in the fog

Find your own way, ay, hey, hey, hey

Every time I try to go

Someone's asking me to stay

Well I am not your lantern in the fog

Find your own way

Though I know when you find it

I know I'm gonna mind it

I know I'm gonna mind it
