Simple Story

I know it's a simple story But where you gonna hear another one just like this? Another minute passing, waiting 'round for something to hit... And then I start to exist, when you were looking for me Why'd I have to leave and make you thought I'd run? Maybe I need to be on something To figure out just what all this means to me I should have played her something Shoulda said something then But it's too late I know it's a simple story Gonna have to be a man someday Let's start a vicious cycle Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass But then I disappear and I show up a few days later With my foot in a trap But it's only my heart that's bleeding I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind And heard the beat of the band I know I give no reason to give me something old Or give me something new Why do I even need this? Gonna have to do what I need to Just like a teenage summer The sun beats down and cracks the flags left and right But it's not just the heat My body and my head are full of things that keep me up on a night Like it's only time and distance You're in a black box and I can't even wait outside You'll just have to tell me about it Gonna have to sleep It's too light... Let's start a vicious cycle Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass But then I disappear and I show up a few days later With my foot in a trap But it's only my heart that's bleeding I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind And heard the beat of the band I know it's just a feeling Shouldn't even have these thoughts But it's too late I know it's a simple story Gonna have to be a man someday
