Certain Vowels

When you say "anything"
What does that even mean?
'cause we can convince ourselves of anything
We need to believe
Like in a god above, or who to trust on christmas eve

And I don't claim to know a damn thing
But I know a little can go a long way
And it's the strangest things
That we remember on the bad days

Like the shape of her mouth
When she said certain vowels
That kept me coming around for god knows how long
And I am probably better for it

You can go out and trash your exes
Drink some shitty beers and throw some axes
Do whatever you need to do to get past this

But it's the shape of his mouth
When he made certain vows
That kept you coming around even though your own friends
Warned you and then you go back to him

But don't be so hard on yourself
(mmmmmmmhmmmmmm)

And those old heartbreak cliches will live to fight another day
And the stories they can tell from the lines on your face

So do what feels good while you're alive
Otherwise we just get born, you got to work, and then you die
And I don't know what you believe
But what if we only get to be here the one time

And it's the shape of your mouth
When you've got something to think about
It can say everything without even a sound
And that's something to think about
Yea that's all I've got right now
On the shape of a mouth
