"Selected Poems" lyrics - THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM

[Intro:]
Honey bee, she say I've got too much sympathy
But I can call her any time
And if you're lost, and you need a little peace for me
Bring all your trouble back
Honey bee, how have I hurt you?
Come on, tell your blues to me
Maybe I should live up there in the curtain
On the wings of Mercury

I was fortunately desperate
And turbulently innocent
I was living underneath my bodyweight
My eyes were swollen, green and hazy
Sick from grief and hate and envy
I was growing up inside my head

[Chorus:]
And all I seem to find is that everything has chains
And all this life just feels like a series of dreams
Selected poems and lovers I can't begin to name
And all in all I find that nothing stays the same

And I was crazy like the moon for you
And head over my heels for you
And never would I change or compromise
But something in my mind does things I can't contain for anything
Last night I don't think sleep even touched my eyes

[Chorus]

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus - variation]
And all I seem to find is how everything has chains
And all this life just feels like an idiot dream
Selected poems and lovers I've never seen again
And all in all I find that nothing stays the same
