So Certain

You asked if I was alone
I asked you, "In what sense?"
You rolled your eyes in defense
I said "Darling, we're all just embers burning out into the ground,"
Then you frowned

You cut me off in the middle of my mind (uh-huh)
Where I was trying to be some kind of man you'd read on pages deep in Hemingway
But you walked away

But even when I tried to tell you I feel foolish, my words are useless
I would like to change your mind just like the movies, you movе right through me, yeah

I don't mind
I don't mind

And with the sip of a drink I fеlt it fall away
I could feel it, the air, I could feel the ground just move out, walls and windows, everyone is watching
And for a moment the strength was in the palm of my hand
I could change the feel, I could change the feel of everything you ever wanted now
Just give me a chance baby but

Even when I try to tell you I feel foolish, my words are useless
Even when we come together in your eyes I think I see God

I don't mind
I don't mind

In a blink we're on the pavement
Elementary education
I could write a cleaner proper — yes —
Say the things I could never offer
I'm just a boy who wants to be
I'm just a boy who wants to be someone

I don't mind
