Softee Boy Lyrics by Jim Swim

2020

Softee Boy’s got problems
Softee Boy, your day will, come but days go slow
Softee Boy, I saw ya, goin' safe and slow
Softee Boy, stay patient tho, there's space for your way


In the halls like a lamb to the slaughter
Underneath the surface softer than a tissue in water
Gotta stay cautious like he stays with his father
Who jokes his only child is his favorite daughter
Awkward
Strength, meek and patient
Meets mean and takes it, teachers see him weak make worried faces
It's a cold hard world, he’s in secret places
So deep it’s hard to speak or to meet their gazes
Child in him just keepin' warm
Seems to wanna keep his body held in its form
Wild boys turn wild men as if reborn
Softee boy keeps showin' up to be ignored


How long till he learns
How to harden up
And hold his own
When holdin' on is hard enough?
Holin' up in his room, boy's smart enough
To tie himself in a dozen knots
Got him stuck
It's a lot just to sit alone in his zone
His only homie gives him more of what he gets at home
Tells him grow him up some stones, dont b**** and moan
What he’s got nobody seems to wanna get to know
Is it nothin'
If it’s not understandable to some other animal?
Is it nothin'
If it can't find a form and a space to be tangible?


Softee Boy’s got problems
Softee Boy, your day will, come but days go slow
Softee Boy, I saw ya, goin' safe and slow
Softee Boy, stay patient tho, there's space for your way

Im gunna learn to love the way I am
The way I am
I wish you’d love me the way I am
The way I am
You don't have to understand
The way I am
Could just love me
Love me, love me

Signed the note
Moved out in the thick of summer
Saved enough for just a month, it's got him covered
Got a friend, they got in close, they're almost lovers
Gives him life to go his way and start another
He’ll be runnin' for his livin' in a job or two
It's not freedom, but it's somethin that he got to choose
Got a different set a problems now, they oughta do
He’ll meet the world as he is, like it's somethin new

Softee Boy’s got problems
Softee Boy, your day will, come but days go slow
Softee Boy, I saw ya, goin' safe and slow
Softee Boy, stay patient tho, there's space for your way
