pieces
Digger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Up all night, maybe I'm crazy.
I leave myself open. Naked but not naked.
Everything's related. I'm wondering just
What I have to do to get it through your head
That I don't want to go to sleep now.
I just want to go to bed. (So what if I'm serious but fun.
It's a place to rest my head. I'm confused. I'm not drunk)
Break me down into pieces.
Back together, what do you have?
A mess in my head, get it to come out.
One of many, one in a million.
Sometimes it really sucks.
I know what I want but can't have it.
In a letter it leaves me stuck.
I'm wondering just what I have to do to get it through
Your head that I just don't want to go to bed.
(So what if I'm silly, serious but fun?
It's a place to rest my head. I'm confused. I'm not drunk.)

No rest, no time. I wish I had more time to get you off my mind.
Break me down into pieces.
Back together, what do you have?
A mess in my head, get it to come out.




No rest, no time.
I wish I had more time to get you off my mind.
