I had to get out
My body couldn't weather the drought
And if I could've stayed
You wouldn't see me this way
But we don't always get what we want

I thought I was patient
Waiting for the seasons to change
But nobody else
In this Bible-belt
Was standing quite still enough for me

Why
Why must everything
Happen at once?
I'm waking, I'm rising, I'm moving
In sync with the sun
And I always do

I had to get out
My skin was losing its shine
And if I could've stayed
You wouldn't see me this way
But I'm young and I don't know what I want

Why
Why must everything
Happen at once?
I'm waking, I'm rising, I'm moving
In sync with the sun
And I always do
I know that I'm heavy
And I'm sorry for crushing you, darling
I know that I'm heavy
And I'm sorry for crushing you
Like I always do
Like I always do
Like I always do
