Now, Now - Have You Tried lyrics

You're not too small for this But you're not even trying I know you're taking everything way farther than you've known I know what's taking all this space I know i know We were younger then But i can still read the words across your chest Pouring from your mouth And ran like rivers down your neck And spilled on to the floor But i'm not so sure i can remember that anymore I can't read the books your father read But i will write you songs instead To make up for what they have been saying Because i know you don't need that I know you don't need that We were smaller then But i don't have the blood in your skin So i don't fit i don't fit in And when i leave your house I know you'll call to chase them out But they'll stay down the hall So when you sleep it's not for long I can't feel the way your parents did But i can make him take back what he's said to you To make up for when you have been staying at home When we've been leaving Because i'd rather you'd come with me Buried under ground and you're scratching inside out And breathing in until you can't keep pushing out
