La scala

I was not expecting much but i was hoping for more
Every dumbass in the world knows how to shut a door
I don’t know how i got so far from where i thought i was going

Now everything i write sounds so small and lame
How does anyone get old without going insane
And how do we all keep hurting each other without knowing

La scala
Maybe you were drunk
Maybe you were right no one ever loves anyone enough
La scala
Ayiyiyi
I want to say i know you
I want to say goodbye

Do you know the one about the bird who only sleeps on wires
The story goes he got forgotten in a forest fire
And beforе he learned to fly hе learned to fall and run and choke

Your favorite high school teacher said hey kid just be yourself
And if they don’t like you screw them go and find somebody else
She must’ve thought that you were nervous it was more like you were always seeing smoke

La scala
Maybe you were drunk
Maybe you were right no one ever loves anyone enough
La scala
Ayiyiyi
I want to say i know you
I want to say goodbye

And suddenly we all could see that none of us knew anything and we were having babies
And running them around the yard with nothing else to say we had one side of the family
That got used to people dying and that grandmother went crazy or at least she’d say she’s trying
We all wanted to get somewhere and we wanted it to last and we wanted to be people
Who could love somebody back and we wanted to be careful and we wanted to be brave
And we wanted to be different and we knew we were the same

La scala
Let's say we tried
Let's say we're drunk
Let's say you're right
La scala
Ayiyiyi
I want to say i know you
I want to say goodnight
