Lyrics[edit | edit source]
i'll clean up this mess
you need time to dress
i know that i know that i do it all of the time
so sincere when i say that i don't mind
my friend,
'cause i'll come out ahead in the end
if the universe truly is balanced,
i'll come out ahead in the end
got us in a mess
and you want us to rest
maybe we should or maybe we shouldn't and i can just hope that it's fine
when my love turns cells into bodies
won't settle for less and i figure that
we have some time
my friend,
and we'll come out ahead in the end
if the universe truly is balanced
then we'll come out ahead in the end
if my visions of heaven can pull you
and if my visions can pull me
then god will let me embrace you
don't only stand i will
if i can
i know these visions of heaven can pull me
i know these visions can pull you
just don't stand still but also embrace me
you better believe that i can
and i will
drugged it 'til it dropped
gave more than a lot
maybe i should've just fallen asleep but
it still could've went either way
don't know if i think i should listen to you
i guess i could try it in hopes that i feel you say
my friend,
we're gonna come out ahead in the end
since the universe truly is balanced,
we're gonna come out ahead in the end
