LYRICS:
Intro-
And I'm crafty
I I I, I don't owe
You better stop and look
HV1-
Follow steps alone at last, I learn to make a friend at night
Another glass 'till we cross paths, and on the surface we look right
And in this moments when I realize you were just as young as me
And why we made it's still a mystery we're just too cool to see
Lifestyles of the quick and aimless, no direction and it's bliss I'm living
Had a blast I forgot your name miss, doesn't matter it's your face I'm missing
So brave when I was courting, I found your wreckage just like mine
Combine these tragic two, and now our ship will sail just fine
CH-
I I I
don't owe you
you better stop and look
I I I
and now our ship will sail just fine
don't owe you
you better stop and look
BV1-
Attached to the struggle, work a double
true story allegory, move rubble
but we boulders hold to the mold like soldiers toy
foldiers boy, up all night 'till the telly make noise
walk up in the place now
all eyes on me, bury that stare
I am twice the man I use to be
HV2-
A fraction a note and it's here
an action I'm close to the fear
I'm craftin' a hope that's she's near
and It's after the thought, but it's clear
So lets talk the goals to get lost
we mold to make moss the stones that we toss
to shake sound we came from this town
afraid to move round but it's change you fear
CH-
I I I
don't owe you
you better stop and look
I I I
and now our ship will sail just fine
don't owe you
you better stop and look
BBridge-
Ooooooh ohhh ohh
HBridge-
And I'm a joke, maybe but I'm laughing along
clearing out my throat, crazy trying to map out this song
now ya only live once no enemies
building frames from this game so join me
CH-
I I I
don't owe you
you better stop and look
I I I
and now our ship will sail just fine
don't owe you
you better stop and look
Outro-
and I'm a page now
and I'm crafty
finds us, and most of us, we toast to us
you better stop and look
