I never learned the ropes
Of social politics and following the rules
So I’m improvising every day
I’m pretty sure that they don’t teach these things in school
It’s a complicated song and I don’t know the words
A dozen harmonies that do not form a chord
So I just hum, can you hear a tune?
Is it making any sense?
Can I play a part in my defense?
I’m not worried in the least
The funny part about it is
I think no one has a clue
It’s all just confidence
I took it all to heart
Each time that my mistakes were chastised in that tone
So I withdrew and stood apart
And since then I’ve grown stingy with the seeds of love I’ve sown
Love’s a complicated song and I don’t know the words
A dozen harmonies that do not form a chord
So I just hum, can you hear a tune?
It’s not making any sense
I can play a part in self defense
But then I worry through the night
The scary part about it is
Don’t think I’ll ever get it right
Despite my confidence
I get lost, and I think about the things that I don’t know
I get scared, I get tied up in making it alone
I forget, I’m surrounded by people I call home
They are singing a chorus so I can sing along
And they won’t let me fall
