unworry

i know i’ve seen you around
you can’t forget that hair
but i didn’t hear you come in
how long have you been sitting there?
you know, you can tell me anything
i promise i don’t scare
let’s only ever be allies
even if the whole background dissolves
and little pink hearts can pop over our heads
but we’ll keep our cool

i have enjoyed my life
it’s been exciting
and i’ve become more peaceful
no more fighting
and i ain’t gonna waste your time
wronging and righting
round and round
center-bound the grooves on an old LP
nibbled by minnows
and licked by a salty sea

i gotta say i’m amazed (not in a good way)
at how much i don’t remember
i just gotta hope though i’m slow
it’s all part of what i know
and the facts are pretend anyway
yeah the facts are pretend anyway

i know i’ve seen you around
always in that uniform
pirate hat just a little stained
sword just a little worn
you know, you can tell me anything
i’m not just tooting my own horn
let’s only ever be allies
even if the whole background dissolves
and little pink hearts can pop over our heads
but we’ll keep our cool

teach me to unworry
i will teach you to unhide
in the city where they don’t need x-rays
to see each others’ insides
under a big old oak tree
synchronicity’s gathering tide
round and round
center-bound the grooves on an old LP
nibbled by minnows
and licked by a salty sea

i gotta say i’m amazed (not in a good way)
at how much i don’t remember
i just gotta hope though i’m slow
it’s all part of what i know
and the facts are pretend anyway
yeah the facts are pretend anyway
yeah the facts are pretend
