I Would
Human Kitten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or it'll get lost like your old friends
And make sure you remember all the good shit that you
Hold close to your heart
And you might get lost for a while
But don't let it phaze you
'Cause although, you haven't heard a thing from your friends
Doesn't mean they don't love you
That through all these years have
Spread throughout your soul
And I'm done signing away my rights
To the bullshit that you've fed me all my life
And all this negativity
That was taught to me as being so fucking cool
Can only lead to sadness
And bad relationships that you won't know to mend
You won't know to mend
And I've felt the pain
Of eightteen years of shame
And if I could go back
It's almost as if I was better than that
I would
I would
I would
I would

i have this exact lion plush, i got it 11 years ago as a Christmas gift and i can just remember begging my parents for it till they finally gave in. I think this cover really makes me fall in love with this song more.
from the way the lions face was fucking rock hard for some reason, to one arm being longer than the other.
thank you, this song makes me feel a certain way i cant explain.
