Right On
Hospital Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll come around in the morning
Cause easy is boring
I need a reason to jump out of my skin
Like a sinner without even dying
I guess i'll just keep trying until everything lines up

I should've worn a heavier jacket
I may not come around in the springtime
I only look fried in the morning

I need to grow up

I'm so tired of staring at the ceiling while everyone's either
High
Or bored
Or both
One of us was bound to fuck it up eventually
I can't feel me anymore

I wanna peel this film off my eyelids
I might be ticking right with your time bomb
I wanna jump right out of the sky

I need to grow up

A vulnerable child is still a child
But nobody hits their children anymore
A vulnerable child is still a child
But nobody hits their children anymore
A vulnerable child is still a child
But nobody hits their children anymore




A vulnerable child is still a child
But nobody hits their children anymore
