Lyrics

Xanman

Xanman, Xanman
She wouldnât understand, you were crying for your man
But it sure ainât tears for joy
When you gonna see that the manâs not for me?
Well, Iâm barely a boy
Barely a boy

Xanman, wonât you understand youâre not crying for you Xanman?
Xanman, wonât you hold my hand, man?
At least until you crazy boy, you crazy boy

Back in the van with my head in my hands
And I whale like a broken toy
So I take my gills and forget how this feels
Iâm barely a boy, barely a boy

Xanman, wonât you understand youâre not crying for you Xanman?
Xanman, wonât you hold my hand, man?
At least until too lazy boy, made me crazy, yeah
I canât drop

Back in my van, boy, another thing
Until we reach our land
Weâll wipe the memory, Iâve got eyes for my mind
Until we can smile, breathe and play
Breathe and play

Xanman, wonât you understand youâre not crying for you Xanman?
Xanman, shit, wonât you hold my hand, man?

Xanman, wonât you understand youâre not crying for you Xanman?
Xanman, shit, wonât you hold my hand, man?

Xanman, wonât you understand youâre not crying for you Xanman?
Xanman, shit, wonât you hold my hand, man?

Xanman, wonât you understand youâre not crying for you Xanman?
Xanman, wonât you hold my hand, man?
