lyrics

I don't need much
but I still want it all
got a doorstep that's covered up in packages but still
got a hole in my heart that I can't seem to fill
and who knows?
maybe there is something more
there was something here before
and I know that long after I drop
it'll be here whether I believe it or not

I don’t do much
But I still know it all
Got a window that shows me a world can I fear
Got a door to the truth but I don’t get to near
And so what?
if I never really see
past my own reality
well the facts are the facts that we got
they'll be true whether we can believe em or not

it took a long time losing to realize something so small
That you getting worse don't make me any better at all

I don't want you
to leave me alone
got some space and some time to myself and I found
that I always been better when you are around
oh yes
maybe everything's a mess
love is anybody's guess
But I hope that long after I drop
it'll be here whether I believe it or not

it took a long time losing to realize something so small
That you getting worse don't make me any better at all

I don't have much
but I still got it all
yea the wealth in my life can't be counted up in bills
and the things I possess won't end up in landfills
yea it's true
life is really something great
there are days I don't relate
but I hope that long after I drop
It’ll be here whether I believe it or not
Yea I hope yea I hope that long after I drop
It’ll be here whether I believe it or not
