Bright Eyes - Nothing Gets Crossed Out lyrics

Well, the future's got me worried, such awful thoughts. My head's a carousel of pictures. The spinning never stops. I just want someone to walk in front and I'll follow the leader. Like when I fell under the weight of a schoolboy crush. I started carrying her books and doing lots of d**. I almost forgot who I was, but came to my senses. Now I try to be a**ertive. I'm making plans. I want to rise to the occasion, yeah, meet all their demands. But all I do is just lay in bed and hide under the covers. I know I should be brave, but I'm just too afraid of all this change. It's hard to focus though all this doubt. I keep making these 'To Do:' lists but nothing gets crossed out. Even working on the record seems pointless now. When the world ends, who's gonna hear it? But I try and take some comfort in written words, yeah, Tim I heard your album and it's better than good. When you get off tour I think we should hang and black out together. Because I've been feeling sentimental for days gone by all those summers singing, drinking, laughing, wasting our time. Remember all those songs and the way we smiled in those basements made of music. But now I've got to crawl to get anywhere at all. I'm not as strong as I thought. So when I'm lost in a crowd, I hope that you'll pick me out. Oh, how I long to be found. The gra** grew high. I laid down. Now I wait for a hand to lift me up, help me stand. I've been laying so low, don't wanna lay here no more don't wanna lay here no more don't wanna lay here no more don't wanna lay here no more But everything that happens is supposed to be and its all predetermined; can't change your destiny. Then I guess I'll just keep moving and someday maybe I'll get to where I'm going.
