[Chorus] Don't cry, this is natural These are living rooms These are your friends Don't cry, this is natural We may never know when this phase will end [Verse 1] I just received an offer with a stipend and stress And I'm scared to d**h that I'll tell them “yes” I know that I'll complain of being held under duress Yet my draft is open, I'm typing “yes” I don't know why I always wink at harm I hold trouble in my big strange arms And tell it, “You'll be mine forever” I opted out of busing where I needed to go And I walked two hours in the polar cold I was offered to be driven, but I wasn't sold And I froze and froze in frigid folds I don't know why I let myself get hurt I hold a spoon up to my just desserts And tell it, “You'll be mine forever” [Chorus] Don't cry, this is natural These are living rooms These are your friends Don't cry, this is natural We may never know when this phase will end We've just got to know that today will end I think I'll eat a messy mountain and decide I will And I walk two miles, go to Jeri's Grill I know I'll never be a dainty daffodil So I widen field-size at Jeri's Grill It feels ridiculous to know my faults And take them dancing in a doe-eyed waltz And whisper, “You'll be mine forever” I think about the girl that gives me prickled hairs I look across the booth, and she's very there I know she's not an angel and I barely care I will her where I will, and she's very there I think I'm terrified of knowing joy It's all disintegrants that I employ And tell them, “You'll work here forever” I tell them, “You'll work here forever” Scared that they will work here forever [Chorus] Don't cry, this natural These are living rooms These are your friends Don't cry, this is natural We may never know when this phase will end We've just got to know that today will end
