Lyrics

crossed fingers

I’m careful

Rather I’m cold enough to feel carved out

Of the principles

That I’m reform enough

To feel sorry about

Gotta make myself a plan

‘Cause no one's gonna make it for me

So I take it second hand

From an old lover planning idly

So I take it second hand

From an old lover planning idly (From an old lover planning idly)

Gotta make myself a plan

‘Cause no one’s been reminding me (‘Cause no one’s been reminding me)

If you’re careful

You might be someone else

Can you not be someone else

Can you not be someone else

Can you not be someone else

Can you not be can you not be yeah

If you’re careful

You might be someone else

Can you not be someone else

Can you not be someone else

Can you not be someone else

Can you not be can you not be yeah

Can you not be can you not be

['Cause no one’s gonna make it for me]

Gotta make myself a plan

Cause no one's gonna do my bidding

So I take it second hand

Keep from crying by considering (Keep from crying by considering)

I’ve been careful to offer up

An old sandwich and cherry coke

Sob stories through a peep hole (Sob stories through a peep hole)

Don’t worry I get it though (Sob stories through a peep hole)

I’ve been careful to offer up (I’ve been careful to offer up)

An old sandwich and cherry coke (An old sandwich and cherry coke)

Sob stories through a peep hole (Sob stories through a peep hole)

Don’t worry I get it though (Sob stories through a peep hole)

Since the whispers become a shout (Since the whispers become a shout)

And my wrists hurt from counting out (And my wrists hurt from counting out)

Lost fingers on your loopholes (Lost fingers on your loopholes)

Don’t worry I get it though

If you’re careful (Careful)

You might be someone else (you might be someone else)

Can you not be someone else (Can you not be?)

Can you not be someone else (Can you not be?)

Can you not be someone else (Can you not be?)

Can you not be can you not be yeah

If you’re careful (Careful)

You might be someone else (you might be someone else)

Can you not be someone else (Can you not be?)

Can you not be someone else (Can you not be?)

Can you not be someone else (Can you not be?)

Can you not be can you not be yeah

Can you not be can you not be
