SURVIVE Lyrics by Trevor Hawkins

Small Talk

2018

Selfish still some lessons to be learned and
I miss it when I'm with you and feel it and it burns
But oh I guess I got what I deserved
Lesson mates and “Checker’s” dates just pages that we would turned
But everybody knows it should be earned still
Everybody thinks of you then thinks of me in turn
And I just can't stop dreaming bout that skirt
So I’ll sing a little a louder so my feelings can’t be heard
I know we’re both better off
Acting like we never were at all
And I know you made me feel alive
But I know you’d kill me to survive
Yea overheard your kiss-and-tell you what babe
I know that, that’s where you been and that’s what I️ deserve but
Everyone I knew just knew it first
Write a note about you then I️ stomp I️t in the dirt
No put it to a beat to let it go
Well put it to a beat because I'm weak I let it show yea
Every open bottle let’s me know
We’re the young and the restless -tested
Battlefields our hearts made look sublime
Yea every other word just felt like music played in time
And all of me just wishes that we knew
A way to clean this mess up, fess up, dress up
I know we’re both better off
Acting like we never were at all
And I know you made me feel alive
But I know you’d kill me to survive
Still I wonder bout you when I️t hurts
I understand that everyone gets down and that’s worst
But lately I been wondering what it’s worth
And I think it’s all perspective. A lesson
Who’s teaching, that’s a question for the Hearst
But for now I just lay back run my fingers down your shirt
Cause crazy I may be but that’s the verse
From those less remorseful, resourceful, and forceful
I know we’re both better off
Acting like we never were at all
And I know you made me feel alive
But I know you’d kill me to survive
Battered in my mind I will confide
Just rock me like a wagon wheel that’s tipping side to side
And everything in me tells me to hide
But your love is an ocean, a potion
My fairytale, I’ll wish away my sin
My princess she awaiting me like “where the hell you been”
Well I been posted here just writing lines
And yea she’s my angel so I knew she wouldn’t mind
Yo Selfish still some lessons to be learned and
I miss it when I️m with you and feel it and it burns
But oh I guess I got what I deserved
Lesson mates and “Checker’s” dates those pages that we would turn
But everybody knows it should be earned still
Everybody thinks of you and thinks of me in turn
But I just can't stop thinking bout that skirt
So I’ll sing a little a louder so my feelings can be heard
I said everybody knows it should earned still
Everybody thinks of you and thinks of me in turn
But I just can't stop thinking bout that skirt
So I’ll sing a little a louder so my feelings can be heard
