"Nothing’s Gone Wrong"
You make me smile
After a while
(of) Walkin’ and talkin’
Single file
Hand in hand
Handlin’ the crowd
As we speak aloud
Makin’ sure we allow
Ourselves to be loud
Enough to understand
Each other and then we smother
The others around us
So we start showin’ the love
And people get mad and cuss
Until there’s shedded blood
And we all walk around it
Not tryin’ to act like somethin’ happened
Disguisin’ our sorrow by laughin’
The things that result from
The things that we cause
Scare us half to death
But we act like nothing’s gone wrong
Bravin’ through the afternoon rush
We can’t help but show innocent lust
Watchin’ the others that surround us fuss
And fight and soon we’ll be nestled tight
In our warm little beds thinkin’ of gifts in our heads
Romantically, we lay remembering
The man who was so distempering
Fingering anything he could get his hands on
Not getting anything he had commanded on
Coming off mordant and insensitive
Fighting to get to the front to find out
The items he’s got in his hands are too expensive
And so he disappears and I risk having bad karma
For the rest of my life for laughing when this incident alarmed
From the cashier’s mouth – he went south
For the winter, for the warmth
Tattooed, a bird, on his forearm
Flabbergasted when he lifted from the ground
And turned this world into his own when the sound (rang out that…)
We can’t just act like that
We can’t just pass a glance
At what could be, ‘cause then
That’s when the changes begin
Hold my hand and take a stand
Bow with me once more as we exit the store
Once more, once more, once more
Heading to the door
There is a blockade
Open sesame and it obeyed
Turns out the thing was just cramped for a sec
But I didn’t believe that, regardless I gave credit
Where it was due underneath my shoe
Since I step on everything that’s been laid out for me
If I don’t do it myself, I don’t remember
If my mom doesn’t remind me, I forget
A never-ending cycle until December
Every year, nevertheless
I keep to myself about things like this
As if it is any of you business, anyway
React calmly
Distract me harmfully
Sweet misery you caused me
To think about, like Michelle Branch
Pass another, just pass another glance
