Lyrics

Thinking Clean

I was thirteen thinking clean What for? Hardly on Couldn't see in front of me Novel Hide my face What if everything was taken from beneath? I don't want to be here anymore One hundred and eighty-six miles per Our time flows (dumb reasons) What if everything was taken from beneath? I don't want to be here anymore (and I don't want) What if everything was taken from beneath? I don't want to be here anymore (I don't want to be here anymore) (I don't want to be here) (I don't want to be here anymore) I could've been to see Something wonderful (?) as much as I get
