Growing Sideways - Live From Fenway Park Song Lyrics
So, I took my medication and I poured my trauma out On some sad-eyed middle-aged man's overpriced new leather couch And we argued about Jesus, finally found some middle ground I said, "I'm cured"
And I divvied up my anger into 30 separate parts Keep the bad shit in my liver, and the rest around my heart And I'm still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them But it's a start
But I ignore things, and I move sideways Until I forget what I felt in the first place At the end of the day, I know there are worse ways To stay alive
'Cause everyone's growing and everyone's healthy I'm terrified that I might never have met me Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty I guess I'll drive
I guess I'll drive Alright, Boston
So, I forgot my medication, fell into a manic high Spent my savings at a Lulu, now I'm (sufferin' in style) Why is pain so damn impatient? Ain't like it's got a place to be Keeps rushin' me
But I ignore things, and I move sideways 'Til I forget what I felt in the first place At the end of the day, I know there are worse ways To stay alive
'Cause everyone's growing and everyone's healthy I'm terrified that I might never have met me Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty I guess I'll drive
And if all my time was wasted I don't mind, I'll watch it go Yeah, it's better to die numb Than feel it all
Oh, if all my time was wasted I don't mind, I'll watch it go Yeah, it's better to die numb Than feel it all
But I ignore things, and I move sideways Until I forget what I felt in the first place At the end of the day, God knows there are worse ways To stay alive
Oh, 'cause everyone's growing and everyone's healthy I'm terrified that I might never have met me Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty I guess I'll drive
