Small Town

Big-eyed beautiful oh
She’s so wonderful, she said to me:
“What’s wrong with my face,
What’s something I can change so they’ll like me?”
I shake my head and say:
“Life made you this way, and that’s lovely to me
I’ll let you in on something new,
Something I’ve had to learn too.”
Perfect is as perfect does
And perfect is full of shit
And people are too quick to judge
And you shouldn’t feel like this
Oh small town, you’re bringing her down
Please just let her go
To where the lights glow
Oh small town, someday she will leave you
And she will be free to
Go where she is loved
Go where she is loved
They say he hit a wall, it
All just got too much
At least, that’s what I heard
Questions were never asked, he
Simply wasn’t like the rest of his class
Faces like the wind, they’re
There and they’re gone again
And no one ever knows why
We love the quirky ones, but
He crossed the line
No one ever told him where it was
And perfect is as perfect does
And perfect is full of shit
And people are too quick to judge
And you shouldn’t feel like this
Oh small town, you’re bringing him down
Please just let him go
To where the lights glow
Oh small town, someday he will leave you
And he will be free to
Go where he is loved
Go where he is loved
Different is okay
Different is okay
Different is okay
That’s what they say
Different is okay
And not just in the simple ways
You can be confused
You can be bruised
Different is okay
Say it ‘til we see it
Different is okay
Say it ‘til we mean it
Oh small town, you’re bringing me down
Please just let me go
To where the lights glow
Oh small town, you’re bringing me down
Please just let me go
To where the lights glow
Oh small town, someday I will leave you
And I will be free to
Go where I am loved
Go where I am loved
Go where we are loved
Go where we are loved
Go where I am loved
Go where we are loved
Go where I am loved
Go where I am loved
Go where we are

Responsibilities

I’ve got all these responsibilities
People to please, souls to feed
Oh oh oh
I've got all these, all these tendencies
You're done with me, I'm done with me too
Pink and blue skies
Are what I'm trying to find
Don't you try and stop me now
Paper and pen, all over again
Writing myself into the ground
The evening always dwindles on
When I'm finding my way back home
I always find it funny how
No one ever knows I was gone
I say I love to take them on
But I never carry through
The prettiest songs aren't about me
They're always about you
I’ve got all these responsibilities
People to please, souls to feed
Oh oh oh
I've got all these, all these tendencies
You're done with me, I'm done with me too
Aren't you glad I
Tried my hardest this time
I know you like it when I do
Lost all those nights
No one's as tired as I
Why do I do this to myself?
I say I love to fight the fight
But I care too much for you
You ask me to stay a little while
But there's some things I cannot do
I say I love to take them on
But I never carry through
The prettiest songs aren't about me
They're always about you
I’ve got all these responsibilities
People to please, souls to feed
Oh oh oh
I've got all these, all these tendencies
You're done with me, I'm done with me too
Flaws, flaws, flaws
We are flawed to no end
Words, words, words
Do we ever really say
I can't refine my heart's design
To be what I'm not meant to
Diamonds only shine in the light
My best will just have to do
I can't refine my heart's design
Diamonds only shine in the light
I can't refine my heart's design
Diamonds only shine in the light
I’ve got all these responsibilities
People to please, souls to feed
Oh oh oh
I've got all these, all these tendencies
You're done with me, I'm done with me too

Home

You have many faces, you have many names
I left you behind, you left a trace
I feel the weight of you, it’s all around
Must be something in the water
The things you dreamed of were in your hand
All you needed to do was grab them
I want you to know this isn't a love song
I like to call this a remember-to-forget-song
I hope somebody gets you what you need
That somebody can never be me
Lost girl, find home
They love you, you know
I can't be the one who saves you
Wild sea, small boat
I’ve got to let go
This heart will never be your home
I tried to open, you pushed me down
Must be drowning, sinking faster
All your twisted words are a tired sound
I know its hard when you’re under
The things you dreamed of were in your hand
All you needed to do was grab them
I want you to know this isn't a love song
I like to call this a remember-to-forget-song
I hope somebody gets you what you need
That somebody can never be me
Lost girl, find home
They love you, you know
I can't be the one who saves you
Wild sea, small boat
I’ve got to let go
This heart will never be your home
You've made yourself a princess, a damsel in distress
But you won't let anyone let you down
If you want to be saved, let yourself be saved
But you won't let anyone let you down
I want you to know this isn't a love song
I like to call this a remember-to-forget-song
I hope somebody gets you what you need,
That somebody can never be me
Oh, lost girl, find home
They love you, you know
I can't be the one who saves you
Wild sea, small boat
I’ve got to let go
This heart will never be your home
