Lyrics:
------
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
and run away with me tomorrow
June
We'll try and ease the pain
Somehow we'll feel the same
Well, no one knows where our secrets go
I send a heart to all my dearies
When your love is oh, so dreary
Dream
I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream
And I fail but when I can, I will
Try to understand that when I can, I will
Mother weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
Sooo bad when I can, I will
Words defy the plans when I can, I will
Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I’ll always feel this
No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to
beeee me when I can, I will
Try to understand that when I can, I will
