lyrics

i’m scared of something i can feel in my sweat
my broken baritone, the hair on my chest
there are many things that you’re bound to see in me
but i wanna be something unexpected

the way the wind moves as it becomes your breath
the kind of day that puts a swing in your step
inexpressible, i don’t wanna say a thing
things i said enough

do or you don’t
when will you know
make up your mind
we got places to go
you been losing control
be a man be a man about it
yeah it’s detrimental
but just keep telling yourself
be a man, be a man, be a man, be a man about it

a sea of anger and i’m out in the tide
collecting what i like and leaving behind
shattered shells, serrated to the touch
ancient animals stuck in the mud

will you be my science fiction in real life
my distant future where we forget to try
to return ourselves to what we were before
unafraid to dream of more

do or you don’t
when will you know
make up your mind
we got places to go
you been losing control
be a man be a man about it
yeah it’s detrimental
but just keep telling yourself
be a man, be a man, be a man, be a man about it
