Текст песни Nothing Gets Crossed Out - Companion Version - Bright Eyes

Well, the future's got me worried, such awful thoughts
My head is a carousel of pictures, the spinning never stops
Just want someone to walk in front
And I'll follow the leader

Like when I fell under the weight of a schoolboy crush
Started carrying her books and doing lots of drugs
I almost forgot who I was
But I came to my senses

Now I'm tryin' to be assertive, I'm making plans
Gotta rise to the occasion, meet all of their demands
All I do now is lay in bed
And hide under the covers

Well, I know I should be brave
But I'm just too afraid of all this change

It's too hard to focus through all this doubt
Keep making these "To do" lists but nothing gets crossed out
Working on the record seems pointless now
When the world ends, who's gonna hear it?

But I'm tryin' take some comfort in written words
Yeah, Tim, I heard your record, and it's better than good
When you get off tour, I think we should
Hang and black out together

'Cause I've been feeling sentimental for days gone by
All those summers singing, drinking, laughing, wasting our time
I remember all those songs and the way we smiled
In those basements made of music

But now I have 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 long to be found
The grass grew high, I, I laid down
Now I wait for a hand to lift me up, help me stand
'Cause 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
I don't wanna lay here no more

Everything that happens supposed to be
It all predetermined, can't change my destiny
Guess I'll just keep moving, someday maybe
I'll get to where I'm going
