Paroles de 'You Won't, You Won't' par Kevin Devine

You wrestle yourself to the ground
you springboard, and kick yourself in the mouth
'cause all of that drama
that embarrassed charade
couldn't stop you, or settle you down
so you got back with your black hole
and you don't care who's out there, who knows

'cause you're spent, and you're sad
'cause you've bronzed it, it's your badge
now you've fixed it to all your clothes
every t-shirt and overcoat
so it's with you through hot or cold
but i would tear it from the cloth
yeah, i would tear it from the cloth
grow up and knock it off

'cause there's a world awake outside
it's injustice and it's music
and it's July, July
it's history's arc
it's your family,
it's art.
but it don't mean nothing
not to you, not tonight

you can't see past the length of your nose
the biggest problems, you're sure are your own
that girl you cut loose
and those friends that cursed you
and that powder that you can't leave alone
and you say, you know, you know, you know
but i know that you don't, you don't, you don't
'cause if you did, you'd really try
yeah, if you did, you'd really try
to let all that die

so marry yourself to your work
and crowd your confusion with words
then round out your life with some books you like
while you bury your love in the dirt
'cause it's endless, a ditch you can dig
and you're stubborn, and prideful, and you're all over it
so i suggest you make sense of the time you've got left
so you don't end up back where you've been
and you say you won't, you won't, you won't
and i hope that you don't, you don't, you don't

but if you mean it, why don't you stand up and fight
yeah, if you mean it, then stand up and fight
'cause i mean, it's only your life
it's only your life
to fix or ruin
to figure what to do with
it's only your life
to fix or ruin
'cause no one else is going to do it
'cause it's only your life
