Sharp Knife Lyrics by Third Eye Blind

Ursa Major

2009

[Verse 1]
Time tick-tick-ticks after me, my MP3 is out of juice
I wrote a song for you, but what's the use?
How did we get knocked so loose
Knocked so loose
Someone I swear I'll never be, who trades his dreams for security
Walks this city blindly
Lately it's a little hard for me to see
Lately it's a little hard for me to believe

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And it's all disappearing, and it all falls apart
And it seems like the ending is a lot like the start

[Verse 2]
Nature has its own rules like gravity crushin' me
And liars are robbed of memory
Lately it's a little hard for me to believe
At least you left a mark on me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I think there's a reason; at least, there's a sign
And all that we call chaos I will say is by design
But I'm just lyin'

[Chorus]
What you need is a sharp knife soul
To come back down from an all-time low
Seems like I'm the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful, you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knife
To cut

[Post-Chorus]
A shiv
A shiv
A shiv
A shiv

[Verse 3]
So, new friend, can you hear this?
Can we return to fearless?
Merry pranksters one and all
And walk that devil down the hall

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Yes it's all disappearing, and we should all just go along
And all would be so easy if we could say, "Just let it be"
But that's not me

[Chorus]
What you need is a sharp knife soul
You can crawl out of an all-time low
Seems like I'm the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful, you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knife, a sharp knife
To cut

[Post-Chorus]
A shiv
A shiv
A shiv
A shiv

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
What you need is a sharp knife soul
To come back down from an all-time low
Seems like I'm the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful, you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knife, a sharp knife
To cut

[Post-Chorus]
A shiv!
A shiv!
A shiv!
