lyrics

Wake up, feeling heavy
Bite my apple sink my coffee
Killing time well that’s my favourite pastime
Lose the inches from my hairline

Just like I’m just rolling dice
But that’s life
Ain’t that right

I will take what I’m given
A simplistic way of living
I’ll take just what I’m given
Two hands and a heart that’s beating

Responsibility weighs heavy
When it’s in my nature to be messy
Washing up just makes me think of all the things that I forgot to do today
Maybe I’d be clean if I had someone to care for
To be there for
Be aware for

Lately I’m losing vanity
Trade in my looks for clarity
But I’ll take just what I’m given
And do my best to change my linens

I will take what I’m given
The bohemian way of living
Yeah I’ll take just what I’m given
And give all that I am given to you
