Karaoké A Better Son / Daughter Rilo Kiley

Sometimes in the mornin'

I am petrified and can't move

Awake but cannot open my e-eyes

And the weight is crushin' down on my lungs

I know I can't breathe

And hope someone will save me this ti-ime

And your mother's still callin' you insane and high

Swearin' it's different this ti-ime

And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her

And that God never blessed her insi-ides

Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsettin' things

Crawl back into bed to dream of a time

When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because

Like the sick and the dyin'

And sometimes when you're on you're really fuckin' on

And your friends they sing along and they love you

But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fuckin' cheap

And it teases you for weeks in its absence

But you'll fight and you'll make it through

You'll fake it if you have to

And you'll show up for work with a smile

You'll be better and you'll be smarter and more grown up and a better daughter

Or son and a real good friend

You'll be awake, you'll be alert

You'll be positive though it hurts

And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends

You'll be a real good listener

You'll be honest, you'll be brave

You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful

Your ship may be comin' in

You're weak but not givin' in

To the cries and the wails of the valley below

And your ship may be comin' in

You're weak but not givin' in

And you'll fight it, you'll go out fightin' all of them
