《Thank You(Explicit)》歌词

[00:03:52] You gave me language as a gift, I turned it against you

[00:03:52] I was stupid, I was young, I was hanged by my Judas tongue

[00:03:52] You shouldn't give weapons to kids that don't know better

[00:03:52] I can't possibly understand that there's no such thing as forever

[00:03:52] For every letter in the alphabet

[00:03:52] You said connect 'em to a happy word, no matter how bad things get

[00:03:52] I did my best, but the pickings got slim

[00:03:52] Once I arrived at "X" and I had to think of synonyms

[00:03:52] Weight 'em against the antonyms, I was hanging with all the mannequins

[00:03:52] Who are on a constant search for a person's amputated limbs

[00:03:52] Almost offered up my own, trading in my arms and legs

[00:03:52] You said learn to express yourself if you're gonna stand for things

[00:03:52] I stood up with that expression, stood up against everything including you

[00:03:52] I was stupid, I was adolescent, but I had your lessons to cling on to

[00:03:52] And I want you to know how much it helped

[00:03:52] Considering everything that I'd gone through

[00:03:52] It was a period without periods, run on sentences were like binges

[00:03:52] I was a comma with no cause, a rebel with no clause

[00:03:52] Anxiety is no excuse once there's nothing left to separate

[00:03:52] We could have connected, but didn't

[00:03:52] I was ignorant, passed out on the spacebar

[00:03:52] The further we drifted apart the closer

[00:03:52] I came to realizing just how amazing you are

[00:03:52] Now that you're gone I'mma say it to the stars

[00:03:52] 'Till my words knock worlds off their axes and the universe collapses

[00:03:52] Thank you for the matches, for the gift of fire

[00:03:52] For the wood and the axe, for whooping my ass

[00:03:52] For the wheel even if you didn't invent it

[00:03:52] For the impact that you had on me, it's epic, thank you for the effort

[00:03:52] For teaching me the ABC's even if I never make my way to "Z"

[00:03:52] Even if I never do for someone else exactly what you did for me

[00:03:52] Thank you

[00:03:52] I was a stupid son of a gun with initials carved into me

[00:03:52] I was a stray, a runaway, afraid someday you'd shoot me

[00:03:52] So I scratched off the letters with a pocket knife

[00:03:52] It's how I loss my way when I was tossed into the fray

[00:03:52] This is not my life, who am I kidding, it's a thank you note

[00:03:52] Disguised as a written apology for everything you taught to me

[00:03:52] So awkwardly I approach the open microphone with everything that I wrote

[00:03:52] Clear my throat, adjust the collar on my coat

[00:03:52] As I rock crowds, microphones and boats and then I stroke

[00:03:52] Whatever little ego I have left, I should have left it at the alter

[00:03:52] But I didn't cause I'm an idiot, self-deprecating author

[00:03:52] With a paperback edition that isn't worth a flip through

[00:03:52] If I don't give you the credit that you deserve

[00:03:52] You edited the words from the grave and beyond

[00:03:52] From the first sign of sun raise at dawn

[00:03:52] Till the moonbeam set blaze to my lawn

[00:03:52] The universe collapses on my front steps

[00:03:52] So we get to share in that moment, for just one moment

[00:03:52] And nobody's upset, there's no more anger, there's no more sunsets

[00:03:52] So I crawl back in the chamber, you can shoot me up

[00:03:52] You might as well, we had great communication before the tower fell

[00:03:52] Thank you for the matches, for the gift of fire

[00:03:52] For the wood and the axe, for whooping my ass

[00:03:52] For the wheel even if you didn't invent it

[00:03:52] For the impact that you had on me, it's epic, thank you for the effort

[00:03:52] For teaching me the ABC's even if I never make my way to "Z"

[00:03:52] Even if I never do for someone else exactly what you did for me

[00:03:52] Thank you
