Paperweights

I laugh at how I used to wait

For the perfect time to come

I stayed dumb during the day

I wonder why I'm scared to sing along

Her mother's funeral was a wake-up call

Scramble to get ready for the sky to fall

I keep buying forks and knives at the shopping mall

Gotta learn to cook in the time I've got

I will try my best

I know that I'm up next, I'll say my lines

Think of all the parties that I missed

I hope it's not too late to apologise

I keep getting driven insane

Every single day

Someone is about to get blamed

I'm not at risk because I'm grieving

Your mother's funeral was a wake-up call

Scramble to get ready for the sky to fall

I keep buying soap and bleach at the shopping mall

Gotta learn to clean in the time I've got

I wanna wake up one day

Without the fear

Of how I'll feel

That special day, that special day

I wanna wake up one day

Without the fear

Of how I'll feel

That special day, that special day

I wanna wake up one day

Without the fear

Of how I'll feel

That special day, that special day

I wanna wake up one day

Without the fear

Without the need to not wake up one day

It's drawing near

It's drawing near

My father's funeral was a wake-up call

I could never get quite ready for the sky to fall

I kept buying paperweights at the shopping mall

The time to learn has passed

And the weights I have I'll have to bear on my chest

My father's funeral was a wake-up call

I could never get quite ready for the sky to fall

I kept buying paperweights at the shopping mall

The time to learn has passed

And the weights I have I'll have to bear on my chest

On my father's funeral
