Songtext Lighten up James Vincent Mcmorrow

Lighten up

What are the five worst things you've heard about me?
'Bout who I used to be, can't face myself alone
Show you the same five memes I showed you last week
I think they're funny, but you think they're kinda dumb
I try to best to fix my medication
I read your letters back, I [?]
But still, I'm stuck here, pumpin' at the station
Starin' blankly at faces [?]

But I take too long
And my card declines
I hate this
Then you tell me to

Lighten up, stop tryin' to interfere
Have som? fun, they've got no time for my
Conv?rsations [?]
I've got to get away from here
Lighten up like we should be happy now
Join our club, you'd be the [?]
And I'll be the [?]
And no one's ever lost, we're the lucky ones
And here they come

Don't you just hate that moment on a late plane
A stranger wants to talk, you just wanna watch
That episode that taps into your soft brain
Brings you floodin', lets you be vulnerable
The truth is life is cold, it's getting colder
That doesn't mean you can't find someone
Some friend who understands it's not the failure
To seek another way far from the one named [?]

'Cause you're a goddamn star
And that's just who you are
Some people won't understand
So we tell them to

Lighten up, stop tryin' to interfere
Have some fun, we've got no time for their
Conversations [?]
They've got to get away from here
Lighten up, they should be happy now
Join our club, you'd be the [?]
And I'll be the [?]
That no one's ever lost, we're the lucky ones
Here they come
