What They Don't Know
U.P. Lyrics

This whole day was useless
I feel like nothing has been accomplished today

Next one's gonna be worse
I anticipate tomorrow will be even worse

'cause I'm wearing this badge of fortune like A criminals wears a curse
The good luck I've been experiencing has become a burden, like a curse for a criminal wearing an incriminating symbol

I want to chase that rabbit right off the rails And rip this metal keeping my mouth in check
I want to break free from the restrictions holding me back and pursue my desires without constraint

But I need that muzzle like a razor and a stubble Cuttin all this history from my neck
Despite wanting to break free, I recognize the need to keep certain things from my past in check, like using the sharpness of a razor to cut away unwanted history

Do you remember the gear I first saw you in Eating Mexican in '92? In between your folks and a birthday toast It was black from your fringe to your shoes
I remember the outfit you wore when I first saw you, casually eating Mexican food with your family on your birthday. It was black from head to toe

I'm picking apples out of paintings And making record covers in the sky I missed my boat sitting here imagining Your face when you cry
I spend my time lost in thought, imagining impossible scenarios like picking fruit from a painting or creating album covers in the clouds. I regret missed opportunities while also wondering how you would react emotionally

Don't be cruel, come on be sugar in my tooth I think I like what I don't know about you
Please be kind to me and reveal your pleasant, unknown characteristics that I find appealing

This whole day threw up some tickets None I'd ever choose The sky's so heavy it hangs like a beer gut Spilling stuff on my shoes
Today has presented me with unexpected challenges that I wouldn't voluntarily choose. The oppressive sky is like a bloated stomach, causing problems that spill over onto me

Don't get me wrong, I ain't complaining I still got my legs like an old Christmas tree But if I got faith why am I so scared Everybody's dying on me
I'm not complaining, but I'm still afraid despite having faith. I feel like everyone around me is dying and leaving me behind

Fish and chips stall down the south coast ready I can show you what I'm worth So set me up a bottle and salt and vinegar If you get there first I said if you get there first
I'm ready to show you what I can do at a seaside fish and chips stand. If you beat me there, please order a drink and some condiments for me

Don't be cruel, come on be champagne in my shoe I think I like what I don't know about you
Please surprise me with unexpected pleasures, like spilling champagne in my shoe, because I like the unknown qualities about you
