Lyrics

A redwood lives 2,000 years
Why can't I
Turtles swim the ocean blue for centuries
Why can't I

You got easy reasons
We have so few seasons to abide
Guess I'll keep on praying
Playing the music inside

So when I wake up in the morning
Please tell me what I am longing to hear
For I just might break down and die
Just might break down and die

Something's wrong baby, deep in the genes
You can't deny
All our love and wisdom keeps nobody safe
Why oh why

Take odds or evens
No amount of scheming buys us time
Some days I'm crying
Lord knows I'm trying to make the most of my lines

So when I wake up in the morning
I'll tell you what you are longing to hear
For I just might break down yeah
Just might break down and die

Take odds or evens
No amount of scheming buys us time
Some nights I'm flying
Lord knows I'm dying to make the most of my life

So when you wake up in the morning
I'll tell you what you are longing to hear
For I just might break down yeah
Just might break down and die
Said I just might break
I just might break

Said I just might break down yeah
Just might break down and die
