"Jesse" lyrics

It won't be the same
These casual phrases that try to explain to
Someone outside
How we're coming unhinged

It isn't fair, it doesn't make sense
You didn't know him like we did

Just a kid playing games in the night
'Cause it's too hard to sleep
When you fill up a room with all that energy
Nobody asked if you could stand the heat
Now he's living on a sunset, bringing us to our knees

And it's fucked up and beautiful, and suits him perfectly
And he's taking our picture and watching us bleed
Can you stomach the laughter when the comedian leaves?
And we're keeping our eyes on him
The one that you loved, and he's laughing again
But some days are harder than
Others have been

It isn't fair, it doesn't make sense
You didn't know him like we did

Just a kid playing games in the night
'Cause it's too hard to sleep
When you fill up a room with all that energy
Nobody asked if we could stand the heat
Now he's living in the moonlight, bringing us to our knees

Oh, he's dancing naked in your living room
And telling you that everything's amazing
And he's right up in your face again
Telling a story that never ends

Oh, it won't be the same
That's why he left us fireworks, for when we scream his name
It's all on fire, it's in the sky
And all the kids are saying it's so amazing
It's so amazing
