Songtexte Normal - Emily Franke

Well the grass keeps growing I can't bring myself to mow it
I can't bring myself to grin
Walked down a strangers street, know I was born with 2 left feet
Cobblestones aren't helping

Magnolia petals stained my new white shoes
Congratulations feels like bad news
Life is happening faster than I can catch my breath

So I hit the ground running and I don't look back

Oh I pictured all these days years prior
Saw me graduated, wise and old
Not a dead-beat suburb-street beer-day-drinking
In this college town gone cold

Smell lilac trees and Mary Jane
But we're all sober on loneliness
Cooped up in haunted 20th century homes

Wasting away while our "good old days" unfold

Maybe its that life is all a-counting
The grades till we got here, the days till we're moving
Classes and credits and bachelors of sad memories

Got my pockets stuffed full of regrets
The sun crowing 4 years came and went
I found coffee and lost and found a few friends

I wanna press these days between pages and save them
Oh I wanna save them

And I know that I cant see a minute of the future
The trains rolling by a tree falling on the front steps
A last closing shift, a tassel that don't feel final
But we do what we can and we do what we will
I'm sure we'll all end up where were supposed to fall
I heard somewhere that so long just means "see you later"

I'm scared straight to step foot outta here
Move across the country for a dead end career
Guitar-slinging half-playing empty-brained son-of-a-gun

I'm a failure at 20 cause I'm not 16
No plan for tomorrow, should be booked till 3
Falling behind my class faster than I wanna be

I'll never know what I don't if nobody will teach me
Nobody will teach me

I'm sure we'll cross in a city somewhere
And not recognize each others new tattoos and hair
I hope to god you're not stuck in a 9-to-5

I hope the sun's out and it's a beautiful day
And we can still talk and laugh and have plenty to say
Talk of the dreams we have now in the "achieved" sense

I won't miss this town but I'll miss my friends
I'll miss my friends

It's all come to an end
It's all come to an end
It's all come to an end
