Song in My Head

[Intro]
There’s a song in my head
Oh, a line that never stops playing
I’m not sure how it ends
I can't remember when
I heard what you were saying

[Verse 1]
I make the best out of the worst
I make up half the words
And wear a t-shirt of a band I’ve never heard
Because it hurts to be on the outside looking in
Well, I do my best to listen
But I’m uncomfortable with too much silence
From the passenger seat, you said, "What does that mean?"
I said I’m learning to live with the violence, violence
But I’m not the kind that

[Refrain]
Wants to be lost, I don't wanna be forgotten
I don’t wanna pretend that it's alright
I wanna see these walls crumble and dissolve
Around me

[Verse 2]
I got my gold-rimmed diploma wearing a square crown
The class of '14 wore their capes like a reverend’s gown
All that education won’t help us now
Attending funerals and watching friends break their vows
Well, there’s not much that I can protect
So I keep my good humor alive
Nothing disturbs your intellect
Like feeling something you can’t deny, justify

[Refrain]
I don’t wanna be lost, I don't wanna be forgotten
I don’t wanna pretend that it’s alright
I wanna see these walls crumble and dissolve
Around me

[Verse 3]
Saturday morning 11 AM
Heard mom and dad talking money again
Fit a seven person family in a five seater van
I guess all you can do is the best that you can
Dad pushed it all down with a Gibson in his hand
To finish that song that never had an end
I can still hear that song in my head
In my head

[Bridge]
Information, education, given in love
Questions digest like sugar in my blood
Holding together what’s meant to fall apart
Justify a reason for the way things are

[Refrain]
Well, I don’t wanna be lost
I don’t wanna be forgotten
I got reason to believe that I just might
One day see these walls crumble and dissolve
Around me

[Outro]
I’m not afraid, not afraid to lose
It’s a voice that I can’t refuse
Maybe I don’t have a right to choose
When it calls my name
