So Certain

You asked if I was alone
I asked you in what sense
You rolled your eyes in defense
I said darling we're all just embers
Burning out into the ground
Then you frowned

You cut me off in the middle
Of my mind at law
Where I was trying to be
Some kind of man you'd read on
Pages deep in Hemingway
But you walked away

But even when I try to tell you
I feel foolish
My words are useless

And I would like to change your mind
Just like the movies
You move right through me
Yeah

And I don't mind
And I don't mind

And with the sip of a drink
I felt it fall away
I could feel in the air
I could feel the ground just move
Like walls and windows
Everyone is watching

And for a moment the strength
Was in the palm of my hand
I could change the feel
I could change the feel
Of everything you ever wanted now
Just give me a chance baby

But even when I try to tell you
I feel foolish
My words are useless

And even when we come together
In your eyes I think I see god

And I don't mind
And I don't mind

In a blink
We're on the pavement
Elementary education
I could write and clean up proper
Yes
Eat the things I could never offer

I'm just a boy who wants to be
I'm just a boy who wants to be
Someone

And I don't mind
