Twentyseven Lyrics

Could you let me on your shoulders

So I could see just what you meant

When you hopped out of your Corolla

And ran home screaming at your parents

Tired of my conscious thought

Running ‘round at night just choking on your spotlight

Climbing out my window, falling down my lawn

Picking up the words I lost

I’d like to leave it all behind

Rid myself of everybody else

I know it all gets better, but better than what else

I’m hanging up my coat, I’m hanging on your shelf

Slip through every conversation

I cut my lips on all the words that you keep hidden

And every tired person, all the weary faces

Have left me feeling weak and bitter

I’d like to leave it all behind

Rid myself of everybody else

I know it all gets better, but better than what else

I’m hanging up my coat, I’m hanging on your shelf

I’ve tried it all the time and still find

Say I’m better, you can’t tell

But in my mind

Here I can’t hurt you, can only hurt myself

Can I still get into Hell?

I’d like to leave it all behind

I’ll kill my mind

Rid myself of everybody else

I know it all gets better, but better will not help

I’m hanging up my coat, I’ll be hanging on your shelf

I’m hanging by a rope and I’ll be hanging by myself
