Build a pillow barricade so the ghosts can't get to me Twenty-somethin' instincts, feel like a deadbeat dad Never there when it counts and puts you right in therapy Life is a gamble, baby, and you'll have to live with that Oh, but I'll be fine 'cause I always end up Just fine then I'll call a friend up That's just how it is And I'll wake up tired and vaguely sore Stir a pot when I'm feelin' bored Full-sending a lot, only halfway sure Walkin' around with heirloom pain Dad's temper and Mom's mistakes I'm always afraid to fall flat on my face But doin' it anyway Doin' it anyway Walls up to the skies, many men have marched around To no avail, there's Achilles and there's his God-forsaken heel I do the dishes and tend the garden Soften up where I used to harden And take a moonlit walk And I'll wake up tired and vaguely sore Stir a pot when I'm feelin' bored Full-sending a lot, only half is sure, oh Walkin' around with heirloom pain Grandma left but her heartache stayed Now I'm always afraid to take up space Yet doin' it anyway Doin' it anyway, oh People fall in love and fuck up And have kids who fall in love and fuck up Who have kids that fall in love And have you People fall in love and fuck up We all fall in love and fuck up You will fall in love and fuck up too
