to make a mountain of
your life is just a choice
but I never learned enough
to listen to the voice that told me
always love
hate will get you every time
always love
don't wait ‘til the finish line

slow demands come around
squeeze the air and keep the rest out
it helps to write it down
even when you then cross it out

but always love
hate will get you every time
always love
even when you want to fight

self-directed lives
I want to know what it'd be like to
aim so high above
every card that you get dealt you

always love
hate will get you every time
always love
hate will get you
and I've been held back by something
you said to me quietly on the stairs
you said
hey you good ones
