Protection

lyrics

Let me go I need to run I’ll wear my smile just like a gun It’s all I need for protection

Listening how the man with the silk hat sang
Sweet songs like whispers or midnight kisses
It makes me realize how he kept his cool
Wrote elegant lines when times were rough
That should be enough proof that we don’t need much too
To overcome anything and anyone in any way we can
Come on just listen to this man sing:

Let me go I need to run I’ll wear my smile just like a gun It’s all I need for protection

This is the only cure for the broken-hearted
To smile through the pain before it gets you started,
So if I can give you some advice, stop the analyzing,
Start writing, creating, dating, debating, hating, anything but waiting,
You know this is not the way to go,
You stay up late and you watch too many tv shows,
You smoke too many joints and you lie about it all the time,
It makes you numb but you call it high

Now you can hide being high, but you’re still feeling low
It’s easy to deny though it’s hard to let go
I think it’s time to confess and admit your loneliness
Get out of your house and just release the stress,
There’s no need to panic, there is still a life ahead
It makes me think of funny things that my mother said
“It hurts when you hit yourself, so don’t do that”
Simple words can gain meaning when you are looking back
But now we move forward (and you should)
Now we move forward (I’m telling you)
Now we move forward (I’m like a preacher)
We move forward (into the future)

Let me go I need to run I’ll wear my smile just like a gun It’s all I need for protection

Words are flying through your head,
You’re denying you made mistakes, like we all do
I’m your witness, I support you.

When you are on the verge of madness
And you are getting lost in sadness
Remember that today you can begin
To take a walk outside and hear the birds sing.
