Iris Pt. I Lyrics

I still remember when me and she and him and her

Would walk around forever like the perfect of friends

And nothing could ever bother us

Because we could see that things were as perfect as they'd ever be

I looked around for a girl who could be just like me

But I don't think that I ever found her

Instead I found people and places and things

That taught me a lot more than one girl could ever teach me

So I separated from the world

Yeah, I left behind all of my chores

And a blind girl could see that she'd never love me

So I wondered if my hand would ever hold hers

And I looked in her eyes and in panic I said"My friend, I surrender, you'll never see my face again"

So I'll go to school and then I'll get a job

But maybe I'll quit and try to prove you wrong

Goddamn right I know me and I know what I've lost

So I'll never forget the day that you left me alone

Last night I wrote a song, one thousand words long

About all of the people who said I was wrong

It said that I loved them but I needed to do what I wanted

To become the man that I wanted to be

So stay forever and lay in bed with me

So stay forever and lay in bed with me

And I'll show you the things that I learned from the world

Like you can be smart without using big words

And if you are still young, you can still make mistakes

And if you're that bored then just make them again

And just drink until everything else goes away

And maybe she'll love you and maybe she won't

She's nothing without you, boy

Leave her alone

Yes, she was pretty but she was the one who was wrong
