"Jetlag" lyrics

"Jetlag"

I run through the fence where your barbed comments rest
And I brush them all off
While I wipe the sweat off my head

Its not about words
When some false help the true
So I'll bow my head down-
And my shoulders-
I'll run right through!

A jet lag to my chest
I'm tired
I know you get tired too-
The world shakes with a heavy hand
So I laugh with a heavy smile
For the lack of things to do
And the lack of things to prove

I'll fall into your traps-
Chase the wire-
This blueprint that you drew;
I won't think to leave my town
So I'm planting my right foot
To get where I can't move...

(You take it too hard!)

I want a dreamers mind
And a doer's heart;
Got a list of these motions
I never could get to start

I'll waste my whole summer
I'll drink with my friends
Then I'll let my mind wander
And think things down till they're dead!

A jet lag to my chest
I'm tired
I know you get tired too
The world shakes with a heavy hand
So I laugh with a heavy smile
Got a thousand things to do
And a thousand things to prove

I'm young, I'll get off track
I'm violent
I'll cut these fetters loose
All the string that ties me down
The fences that you set
These tortuous paths you grooved -

(You take it too hard!)
