Nothing Gets Crossed Out (Companion Version)

[Verse 1]
Well, the future's got me worried, such awful thoughts
My head's a carousel of pictures, the spinnin' never stops
I just want someone to walk in front
And I'll follow the leader

[Verse 2]
Like when I fell under the weight of a schoolboy crush
Started carryin' her books and doin' lots of drugs
I almost forgot who I was
But I came to my senses

[Verse 3]
Now I'm tryin' to be assertive, I'm makin' plans
Gonna rise to the occasion, meet all their demands
All I do now is lay in bed
And hide under the covers

[Refrain]
Well, I know I should be brave
But I'm just too afraid of all this change

[Verse 4]
It's too hard to focus through all this doubt
Keep makin' these to-do lists but nothin' gets crossed out
Workin' on the record seems pointless now
When the world ends, who's gonna hear it?

[Verse 5]
But I'm tryin' to take some comfort in written words
Yeah, Tim, I heard your record and it's better than good
When you get off tour I think we should
Hang and black out together

[Verse 6]
'Cause I've been feeling sentimental for days gone by
All those summers singin', drinkin', laughin', wastin' our time
Remember all those songs and the way we smiled
In those basements made of music

[Refrain]
But now I have to crawl, to get anywhere at all
I'm not as strong as I thought

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
So when I'm lost in a crowd
I hope that you'll pick me out
How I long to be found
The grass grew high, I laid down
Now I wait for a hand to lift me up
Help me stand
'Cause I've been laying so low
Don't wanna lay here no more
Don't wanna lay here no more
Don't wanna lay here no more
Don't wanna lay here no more
I don't wanna lay here no more

[Outro]
Everything that happens is supposed to be
It's all predetermined, can't change my destiny
Guess I'll just keep moving, someday, maybe
I'll get to where I'm going
