lyrics

My sky of surrender was built up by
Black thoughts of the unknown desires
Of getting caught in the rain with the right to live
And the right to make up for walking in late
On the things I should've done three years ago
When I still had my bravery below me
When the town is in love and irresistible
I am hiding from nothing

I’m a Dewey-do-it but I never did it
You’ve got the wrong idea if you think I’ll never do it

Kids are throwing trash in the old park down the street
And the teenagers imitate the movie stars
Smoking cigarettes and stealing from the candy dish
It’s always cooler than what is on a silver screen
I could swim forever if I wanted to
But the salt in my eyes and the water up my nose
Will make me shrivel like a sponge inside
That’s where I’d rather be anyways

I’m a Dewey-do-it but I never did it
You’ve got to be kidding if you think I’ll never do it
I’m a Dewey-do-it but I’ll never do it

If I was born and bred again, I would jump right in
But overall I would begin to make it better for my friends
By giving all I have within and make a picnic out of it

The grinding of nails under my teeth
Lines up with the drums of my heartbeat
They march my legs back to food and sleep
And back to a girl with a ghost inside of her
Every twitch is snipped like an owl’s wing
Every word invisible is growing
I need to shut up and cut up the old biography
And work to write a new one eventually

I’m a Dewey-do-it but I never did it
You’ve got the wrong idea if you think I’ll never do it
I’m a Dewey-do-it but I’ll never do it
