Nothing Gets Crossed Out (Companion Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, the future's got me worried, such awful thoughts My head's a carousel of pictures, the spinnin' never stops I just want someone to walk in front And I'll follow the leader [Verse 2] Like when I fell under the weight of a schoolboy crush Started carryin' her books and doin' lots of drugs I almost forgot who I was But I came to my senses [Verse 3] Now I'm tryin' to be assertive, I'm makin' plans Gonna rise to the occasion, meet all their demands All I do now is lay in bed And hide under the covers [Refrain] Well, I know I should be brave But I'm just too afraid of all this change [Verse 4] It's too hard to focus through all this doubt Keep makin' these to-do lists but nothin' gets crossed out Workin' on the record seems pointless now When the world ends, who's gonna hear it? [Verse 5] But I'm tryin' to take some comfort in written words Yeah, Tim, I heard your record and it's better than good When you get off tour I think we should Hang and black out together [Verse 6] 'Cause I've been feeling sentimental for days gone by All those summers singin', drinkin', laughin', wastin' our time Remember all those songs and the way we smiled In those basements made of music [Refrain] But now I have to crawl, to get anywhere at all I'm not as strong as I thought [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] So when I'm lost in a crowd I hope that you'll pick me out How I long to be found The grass grew high, I laid down Now I wait for a hand to lift me up Help me stand 'Cause I've been laying so low Don't wanna lay here no more Don't wanna lay here no more Don't wanna lay here no more Don't wanna lay here no more I don't wanna lay here no more [Outro] Everything that happens is supposed to be It's all predetermined, can't change my destiny Guess I'll just keep moving, someday, maybe I'll get to where I'm going
