Jeannie and the Bottle Lyrics

You don’t need to pass a test

Already in a mild mess

I see that veil you hide behind

Cuz that’s a weight that’s also mine

My timing was a misfire

My deeds didn’t represent my desires

Cozy when I bite my tongue

Bundled up, won’t come undone

I forgot I locked my mouth

In a vacuum with no sound

Coulda woulda shoulda said

Lazy and brain-dead

Sorry Jeannie

Please believe me

Flaws and folly

Keep me falling

You trip a trap with every step

You’re quite the trooper, ain’t dead yet

But don’t remove those combat shoes

You’re playing games you always lose

Living in a lions den

Think about it now and then

Feel the weight of something big

When someone taught you how to dig

You found yourself down in a hole

Where the empty glass was full

You can dry those eyes

While I compose a couple verses to apologize

Sorry Jeannie

Please forgive me

Can you hear me?

Do you fear me?

All of these years have seen better days

So long, I’m gone, keep soldiering on

Though it all feels wrong

And isn’t it weird

What a person will say in a song?

Is it wrong? And will it bring on a change?

Why can’t I say this to your face?

Maybe it’s cuz I’m the same way

Caught in the maze

Sorry Jeannie

Please believe me

Can you hear me?

You’ve got to believe me
