things
The Early Years Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel done
With everything that I want
Straightened out everything that I want
Tonight there are things that I couldn't do wrong
To get me high
Take me out
Take me out
Sometimes it started
Things that I couldn't do wrong
Sometimes there are things that I couldn't do bad
And get me high
They get me high
Take me out
Take me out

There's nothing more
Still fills up with more
And they get me high
They get me high
They get me high
They get me high

Things that I couldn't do wrong




They get me high
Take me out

It's amazing how difficult it actually is for life to form. It's beautiful how improbable it was for anything to be alive. It is hard to explain but there is something very impressive, humbling, respectable, and beautiful about it.
