lyrics

"It is What it is"

Verse 1
Cold hands, warm heart they say-hope that's the truth. Note to self: I guess it just is what it is. Is it ever all that it's cracked up to be? Beautiful, round "smile," they said-"smile," they said-saw through all complications. How many portraits can you live? How many songs can you be? In some way, it always comes out your own. How much love can you give? how much wonder can you see? We've all got the seeds, Oh! From the stars we're sown! And rollin' downhill ain't always as bad as it seems, I guess sometimes.. We've all got to grow.

Chorus
And Oh, it was rollin' down a slopey hill and oh- to the night's windy chill, and oh- the lichens grow on the rocks- and oh, the limbs love in a box. When to prove, that it wasn't fair, tried to (make(3x)) somebody care; but the whole damn situation wasn't fair- tried to (make(3x)) somebody care.

Verse 2
And don't let the ego get you down; 'cause you know it sure will try. Oh, it's the truth I've found. Empirical data suggests (2x). I want to YOLO hard as fuck. Don't wanna hold back; when opportunities come knockin' I want to smile and say "Yeah!" Even when (2x) it feels like...

2nd Chorus
Oh, it was rollin' down a slopey hill and oh- to the night's windy chill, and oh- the lichens grow on the rocks- and oh, the limbs love in a box. When to prove, that it wasn't fair, tried to (make(3x)) somebody care. But the whole damn situation wasn't fair- tried to (make(3x)) somebody care.

Verse 3
I wanna be able to feel heiphy about feelin' sad. If it's the truth I don't wanna feel bad or mad- but if it's the truth and I do.. well, maybe that's fine, too.

3rd Chorus
And Oh, it was rollin' down a slopey hill and oh- to the night's windy chill, and oh- the lichens grow on the rocks- and oh, the limbs love in a box. When to prove, that it wasn't fair, tried to (make(3x)) somebody care. But the whole damn situation wasn't fair- tried to (make(3x)) somebody care.
