EVERCLEAR - The Twistinside lyrics

rate me

We have been sleeping with the lights on<br>Just about every night<br>Because we are afraid of what the dark might bring<br>I know, I know it's just a childish fear<br>That grows and grows wild in the middle of me<br><br>I'm gonna get a new tattoo<br>Black and stretching around my arm<br>Like a life that is visible and real<br>I know, I know it's stupid and immature<br>I just want to give shape to the face<br>That twists inside both you and me<br><br>Breathing fire -- doesn't look good on a resume<br>Neither does anything else we do<br>We got to get ready for the real world<br>Yeah yeah we got to grow up<br><br>You know I like to die for awhile<br>Everyday in the afternoon<br>I like to let the arms of a bar<br>Wrap around me tight<br>I'm just going to sprawl in the front booth<br>Big drink above my head<br>Cross eyed and smiling as I watch the world<br>Go twisting by<br><br>I don't want to die with you<br>Or live in the same dark room<br>I don't want to see your bloodshot eyes no more, no more<br>I just want to take this girl -- all curls and big brown eyes<br>Man I can't take the pain of wanting her, needing her<br><br>I know the secret of your soul<br>And I just don't want to know --<br>Yeah, man we got to grow up
