Little by Little lyrics

Can I have this? Perfect conversation.
Coast on the silence, lowered expectations out the door
You spend half your life talking, trying to get a pause in edgewise
Swallow poison tongues, oppose your thumbs, believe in nothing
Can I have a nature change? (one bore time.)
Can I have a nature change? (cause the bastard changes.)

Can I have this? See how much time has wasted

You're doing everything your people said to
I'd hate to be the one to break it to you
It's only sad cause it's true
They misled you when they bred you
Somebody said some things they had no right to
Somehow they stuck, then you were known as someone who
could simply not follow through if he had to
(but you have to, don't you?)

You don't have to be a genius, but it helps to (helps to)

The king of the swinging moods is back in town
and everybody's tiptoeing around him, surround him
as he pounds a silver hammer, drops revolutionary grammar
concerning the burning of city hall and urban sprawl and decay
(bidding so long)

Farewell to the days of having it both ways
Hell is other people, some people never learn
When optimism fails and my cooler head prevails

Ariella, 7:3

All alone
On the floor
Next to your twin-bed box-spring and mattress
The door
Is ajar
From afar
You can hear bands practicing

And When they dream they all
Dream of somebody like you
Somebody who takes what they make
Twice as seriously as they could ever hope to do
And when you dream
You dream of a day...

When you find something you could love half as much
