I never knew

The sky

Could burn a hole into my empty head

I never knew

A smile

Could turn us into enemies instead

Oh, the never-ending bliss

Of moments that you missed returning

Back like waves

For second tries at luck

The luck you didn't have

Back then but now that it

Don't matter much it's easy love

And strangers acting like your oldest friends

It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot

I wanna hold onto the innocence I got

It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot

I wanna care for all

The little things I got

I should have seen

The signs, clovers starting dying in the field

I shouldn't be

Surprised when all the sudden all of it is real

Oh, I tried to write a book

But I misunderstood what I had seen and

So the story made no sense

And stories all depend on whose perspective

You prefer is it an I or is it her

And does it matter in the end

It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot

I wanna hold onto the innocence I got

It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot

I wanna care for all

The little things I got

I saw a film and cried cause beauty

Has a way of crushing me

I took a pill

And sighed cause I've done things

Against which I believe

Oh, I think of you at night

When my mind won't stay quiet

And I've got someone sleeping peacefully at home

But peace don't reach my bones

The sadness still remains and though

I sing the same refrain

It all amounts to no one knows

It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot

I wanna hold onto the innocence I got

It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot

I wanna care for all

The little things I got

You get it right

You get it wrong

It never stops

It's just a lot
