about
This is a cute little song about crippling anxiety. The kind where you can't talk to anyone or even get out of bed.
What if you fuck up?
"Life's hard, my bed is soft. Go away."
What if you fuck up?
"Life's hard, my bed is soft. Go away."
lyrics
I won't walk for fear of stumbling
I won't talk for fear I'll make you mad
I won't walk for fear of tripping over my own tongue
While it hangs from my mouth doing nothing I want it to
I won't walk, I won't talk, I won't even watch if you want
I'll be the perfect boy
I won't walk, I won't talk, I won't even watch if you want
I'll be your perfect little boy
And maybe we'll be kings when dogs get their wings
And fly through the air with excited barks
And maybe we'll be fine when water turns to wine
We'll be drunk all the time but we'll be good
I won't walk, I won't talk, I won't even watch if you want
I'll be the perfect boy
I won't walk, I won't talk, I won't even watch if you want
I'll be your perfect little boy
And maybe we'll be kings when dogs get their wings
And fly through the air with excited barks
And maybe we'll be fine when water turns to wine
We'll be drunk all the time but we'll be good...
I won't talk for fear I'll make you mad
I won't walk for fear of tripping over my own tongue
While it hangs from my mouth doing nothing I want it to
I won't walk, I won't talk, I won't even watch if you want
I'll be the perfect boy
I won't walk, I won't talk, I won't even watch if you want
I'll be your perfect little boy
And maybe we'll be kings when dogs get their wings
And fly through the air with excited barks
And maybe we'll be fine when water turns to wine
We'll be drunk all the time but we'll be good
I won't walk, I won't talk, I won't even watch if you want
I'll be the perfect boy
I won't walk, I won't talk, I won't even watch if you want
I'll be your perfect little boy
And maybe we'll be kings when dogs get their wings
And fly through the air with excited barks
And maybe we'll be fine when water turns to wine
We'll be drunk all the time but we'll be good...
