JakeTwig - Circus Sword Lyrics

Laugh it off
Grass is getting greener
Sorry if I seem to be a wee bit meaner
Never meant any harm
Guess I'm just looking for the right kind of warm

Funny how the world kinda takes what you found
Flopping it around like a fish on the ground
Holding on never been the easy way
But hey
Never had a thing to say

Rather be a toad in the grass than a leach
Burping up water with the worms at the beach
On the road that I read about
No doubts everything in reach

Smell the leaves and the trees
Find a little dirt and dig around with your feet
Don't sleep puff until you sneeze
Tell me could I be what you need

Waking up on the shady side
Feeling bitter at the sunshine
Maybe I could walk in the dark
Find a little corner in my favorite park
Watching all the eyes in the light
Shudder as the butter melts into a big fight
It's ok walk away with your pride
Guess I've never really been that kind of guy

Jump jump jump jump jump time to grow
Jump until you drop all of your snot out your nose
Jump until you jump a little higher than your foes
When you fall that's the way it goes

Can't tell if I should talk anymore
Swallow all the words like a circus sword
There's a saying that I heard before
Shut it all inside like an alligator

Could I be happy that I'm happy even though I know you're not
Sorry if I lost a little bit of what I thought
I was or what I guessed I could have been
Guess I wish I still could be so young and free of rot
Wind is in my hair and in my sails and in my mouth
Wish I knew a way to know what I'm talking about
Still inside a world I never figured out
I'm scarred but full of doubt

So smile when I see the other people on the train
Smile when I know that I am ready for the rain
Smile at the losers and winners and the rest
Smile like I'm happy even if I am depressed

Pick another line in the sand
Dance around the edge like a burning man
Stick a toe across just to watch it burn
Maybe I should let it burn
