Lyrics

Dirt

I've been down countless halls
And once you've seen one it's like you've seen em' all

And I've seen two open doors
And I can't help but wonder what the second is for

And I can't tell myself anything
Even when it feels so seamless
Even when it feels so seamless
Don't get caught in the dirt
The dirt

There's a weight and I feel it and it's pressing down
And it won't be for nothing
And it won't stick around

If it is about anything that I can fix
Than I'll see you on the other side if it really exists

And I can't tell myself anything
Even when it feels so seamless
Even when it feels so seamless
Don't get caught in the dirt
The dirt

No more clean air
It burns my lungs
No more second guesses
I've had enough

No more clean air
It burns my lungs
No more second guesses
I've had enough

Let's forget it now
Baby, when I'm 30 I'll laugh about how dumb it felt
Baby, when I'm 30 I'll laugh it out

And oh God, it's not funny
It's not funny
It's not funny
But I know we can
Laugh it out
