Build a pillow barricade so the ghosts can't get to me Twenty-somethin' instincts, feel like a deadbeat dad Never there when it counts and puts you right in therapy Life is a gamble, baby, and you'll have to live with that Oh, but I'll be fine 'cause I always end up Just fine then I'll call a friend up That's just how it is And I'll wake up tired and vaguely sore Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored Full-sending a lot, only half is sure Walking around with heirloom pain Dad's temper and mom's mistakes And always afraid to fall flat on my face You're doing it anyway Doing it anyway Walls up to the skies Many men have marched around to no avail There's Achilles and there's his God-forsaken heel I do the dishes and tend the garden Soften up where I used to harden And take a moonlit walk And I'll wake up tired and vaguely sore Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored Full-sending a lot, only half is sure, oh Walking around with heirloom pain Grandma left but her heartache stayed Now I'm always afraid to take up space I'm doing it anyway I'm doing it anyway, oh People fall in love and fuck up And have kids who fall in love and fuck up Who have kids that fall in love And have you People fall in love and fuck up We all fall in love and fuck up You will fall in love and fuck up too
Build a pillow barricade so the ghosts can't get to me
Twenty-somethin' instincts, feel like a deadbeat dad
Never there when it counts and puts you right in therapy
Life is a gamble, baby, and you'll have to live with that
Oh, but I'll be fine 'cause I always end up
Just fine then I'll call a friend up
That's just how it is
And I'll wake up tired and vaguely sore
Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored
Full-sending a lot, only half is sure
Walking around with heirloom pain
Dad's temper and mom's mistakes
And always afraid to fall flat on my face
You're doing it anyway
Doing it anyway
Walls up to the skies
Many men have marched around to no avail
There's Achilles and there's his God-forsaken heel
I do the dishes and tend the garden
Soften up where I used to harden
And take a moonlit walk
And I'll wake up tired and vaguely sore
Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored
Full-sending a lot, only half is sure, oh
Walking around with heirloom pain
Grandma left but her heartache stayed
Now I'm always afraid to take up space
I'm doing it anyway
I'm doing it anyway, oh
People fall in love and fuck up
And have kids who fall in love and fuck up
Who have kids that fall in love
And have you
People fall in love and fuck up
We all fall in love and fuck up
You will fall in love and fuck up too
