Life's Little Tragedy
Lambchop Lyrics

I desire to tumble
I feel like falling and letting everything go.

I walk through the garden
I wander aimlessly through life's journey, without a precise path.

I don't speak well I mumble
I feel like I'm not articulate enough to express myself.

To life's little tragedy
I acknowledge the small but meaningful misfortunes that we all encounter in life.

If you touch me I crumble
I am vulnerable, and the slightest touch can bring me to my knees.

This song's from the wishing you well
I'm sending you good vibes, hoping that you can overcome your struggles.

Not a boob or a bungle
I'm not trying to make a mistake or cause any harm.

Just another butt to sniff
I'm just another person to be judged or scrutinized by others.

Half our lives surmise
We all make assumptions and try to guess the truth about things, sometimes with little to no factual basis.

For only you to decipher
In the end, only you can truly understand your own life and your own experiences.

Our reasons are quite tame
Our motivations and justifications for our actions are often simple and not particularly extraordinary.

One by one we die
We all eventually pass away, regardless of the lives that we've led or the legacies we've left behind.

And our secrets die within us
We all have hidden parts of ourselves and experiences that nobody else will ever know about or understand.

There's no one left to blame
In the end, when everything is stripped away, there's nobody left to point fingers at or hold accountable.

Scratchy cheeks and an earring
I have physical attributes that people may judge or use to make assumptions about me.

I scurry to find the camera
I'm always trying to capture moments or memories to hold onto forever.

He's not angry he's seething
He's boiling with anger and frustration, but holding it in and refusing to let it show.

My pictures always turn out wrong
I can never seem to capture the exact feeling or experience of the moment in my photographs, no matter how hard I try.

He's not crying he's teething
He's not upset or broken-hearted, he's just going through a painful and confusing time in his life.

The pains of growing are going fine
The process of maturing and becoming an adult is difficult, but it's happening at a steady pace.

There's some spit on the ceiling
There are always small, insignificant things that can distract or irritate us, no matter where we are.

Pretty soon it's going to drop
An insignificant inconvenience will eventually become too distracting to ignore.

In the bed you lay
You spend time reflecting and ruminating on your own thoughts and feelings in the safety and comfort of your own bed.

Praying for sleep and it never comes
Despite your best efforts to relax and let go, your mind can't seem to stop racing and you can't fall asleep.

It never works that way
Life never seems to go as planned, and our expectations don't always match up with reality.

All the rest is done
Everything else is irrelevant, as this moment is all that matters.

All you really can do is just sit up
Sometimes the best course of action is just to get up and face the day head-on.

And start a brand new day
Every day is an opportunity for a fresh start and a chance to do better than the day before.
