[Verse 1]
I don't like the world quite the way that it is
So I keep talking about all the things you won't fix
I'm impatient, a rock in the mud
Truth is, change isn't change 'til the changing is done
[Chorus]
I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna make you mean
I don't wanna pull you down
I don't wanna cause a scene
I just wanna know right now
Is it all a big machine?
Are we in a crowded hell?
Is heaven all a brilliant scheme?
[Verse 2]
All those questions have answers that no one can find
Always gatekeeping gospels until the right time
So I sit in your silence, my senses all stoned
Is your truth really truth once the damage is done?
[Chorus]
I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna make you mean
I don't wanna pull you down
I don't wanna cause a scene
I just wanna know right now
Is it all a big machine?
Are we in a crowded hell?
Is heaven all a brilliant scheme?
[Bridge]
It's not the world I thought I knew at seventeen or twenty-two
I spilt my beer, I lost my purpose
Cleaning up was never worth it
Part the seas and call a truce
It's hurting me, I'm hurting you
You're looking down, you talk in cursive
You know me, I never learned it
[Chorus]
I don't wanna make you mad
(It's not the world I thought I knew at seventeen or twenty-two)
I don't wanna make you mean
I don't wanna pull you down
I don't wanna cause a scene
I just wanna know right now
(I spilt my beer, I lost my purpose)
Is it all a big machine?
Are we in a crowded hell?
(Cleaning up was never worth it)
Is heaven all a brilliant scheme?
I don't wanna make you mad
(Part the seas and call a truce)
I don't wanna make you mean
I don't wanna pull you down
(It's hurting me, I'm hurting you)
I don't wanna cause a scene
I just wanna know right now
(You're looking down, you talk in cursive)
Is it all a big machine?
Are we in a crowded hell?
(You know me, I never learned it)
Is heaven all a brilliant scheme?
