The sky keeps tossing and tossing and tossing
The world at me
My time keeps ticking and ticking and ticking
At me

I take a look around
As the truth, it hits the ground
What kind of jerk
Could hit you where it hurts
Is it hard to see all you’ve lost in me?
I look, I know, I see
The jerk is me

Keep composure now
Breathe in, breathe it out
I can’t tell you how
But I’m a jerk you should forget
I can’t tell you how much I need you now
But I’m a jerk you should forget

Your eyes keep walking and walking and walking
On me
The sky keeps falling and falling and falling
On me

No one ever knows
How a perfect garden grows
Nothing here works
And I get what I deserve
It isn’t hard to see all you’ve lost in me
I look, I know, I see
The jerk is me

Keep composure now
Breathe in, breathe it out
I can’t tell you how
But I’m a jerk you should forget
I can’t tell you how much I need you now
But I’m a jerk you should forget

So you don’t have to hold on
So you don’t have to hold on
You don’t have to hold on to me...

Yeah, no one ever knows
How a perfect garden grows
And it isn’t hard to see
All you’ve lost in me
No one’s gonna find
Truth and sex in God and wine
Or all the souvenirs that occupy our time
When our loved ones are away
And it feels like every day
Is a million miles away
You don’t have to hold on
You don’t have to hold on
You don’t have to hold on to me
