"The Universe Woke Up As You" lyrics

"The Universe Woke Up As You"

Gonna hum myself to sleep again tonight
Write a little song about the mysteries of life
Try to feel like everything's okay even though so much isn't right
Gonna hum myself to sleep again tonight

Gonna make up some jokes about my day
Make fun of all the things that didn't seem to go my way
Try to get a laugh out of the drama and the pain
Gonna make up some jokes about my day

Oh, was it easier when we were kids
Or was a there something always in the way
And no one else sees the world the way you do
Today the universe woke up as you
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)

Gonna draw my self a picture of the way things were
What is real and what fantasy? Well, I really can't be sure
There's so much here to feel, well, it's all just a blur
Gonna draw myself a picture of the way things were

Gonna bury all my hurt from the past
Push it deep down into the dirt and tell it never to come back
Well, like seeds it grows like weeds and now it's panic attacks
Bury all my hurt from the past

Oh, was it easier when we were kids
Or was a there something always in the way
No one else sees the world the way you do
Today the universe woke up as you
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)

This is how I'll leave my skull-sized hell
There's something big inside of me cracking the heck out of my shell
So stop caring what they think, 'cause that has never done me well
Know that I am me and not the stories that you tell
(What're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
And if you beat me down, I'll love the heck out of myself

Today the universe woke up as you
Today the universe woke up as you
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
Today the universe woke up as you
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
Today the universe woke up as you
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)

Change me
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?
Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?
Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?
Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
I am ready
