"Small Hours" lyrics

Life's not always how it seems
Small hours, that define

What you do 'round here is deep
Guess that's just life

Make the most of what you've seen
Still, that comes with time

And I don't wanna do the same things
Sometimes I wish I just could fly

Met this girl that's just my type
We went out not once, but twice
It was decent, went alright
She's where I'm from, that's all life

But I've only got small hours
Can't describe
Walked her home that's long, that's life
Guess all good things come with time

I wanna know you though
Not just what's on your mind
I wanna show you though
Don't just watch from your eyes
I wanna know you though
Not just what's in your life
I wanna grow too though
Not just watch from the sides

And I can't pretend that
I don't even know why I said that

Is my heart and head at
The same place I bet that

It's not not much to think of
Gimme a pen and I'll drift off
Close my eyes and switch off

I wanna know you though
Not just what's on your mind
I wanna show you though
Don't just watch from your eyes
I wanna know you though
Not just what's in your life
I wanna grow too though
Not just watch from the sides

I wanna see good not evil
Wanna see someone somewhere near you
I can't afford to not see you
Say you missed me
I don't believe you

I wanna be clear, not see through
How could you still be so deceitful?
How could I not have feelings?
It's cool you changed the facts and features

I used to say in school to teachers:
'You're not teaching, you're just reading'
I don't believe in God, not even
How could you tell me about what He did?

You don't know that
You're just reading
I don't belong here
You don't either

And if you knew what all the reasons were I guess you'd teach us

This song's about two girls that I know
I'm with neither
Not deep it's just real life
What I'm on, turn your speaker up

And I made this in my bedroom on no label, either
I did not want it to end, I just wanted to take a breather

I'm selfish
I'm so selfish
And now I can't see ya

Wanna know why I'm here and you're with someone deeper
I'm joking
I'm just joking
Trust me, no one's deeper

I've only got small hours and I really need ya

I wanna know you though
Not just what's on your mind
I wanna show you though
Don't just watch from your eyes
I wanna know you though
Not just what's in your life
I wanna grow too though
Not just watch from the sides
