Broken Jaw Songtext

von Foster The People

I've broken every law
All the words come out my broken jaw
I don't know anything
But then I act like I know everything

Don't wanna talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
Well I have been broke down from my enemies
I'm drifting farther from my memories

And then you take it away

Every day I'm fighting 'cause I can't leave it
Then I feel the weight
And then I come back down

I watch from the sides and try to reach out
Just a little bit closer

And then I come back down

You tell me what's my name
I'm the same, I've just been rearranged
Smile through a choke inside
Yeah, I've been hiding with nothing to hide

Don't wanna talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
Well I have been broke down from my enemies
Just holding a piece of what's been left of me

And then you take it away

Every day I'm fighting 'cause I can't leave it
And then I feel the weight
And then I come back down

I watch from the sides and try to reach out
Just a little bit closer

And then I come back down

Yeah, you're pushing me, pushing me, I can feel it
Just a little bit higher
And then I come back down
I'm climbing on people 'cause I've been blinded
And I'm waiting, I'm waiting around

Sometimes you find yourself waiting
Waiting for someone
To come around and it's hopeless
Hoping to be found
Then it arrives and says "you're perfect my love"
And I,
I know why
I know why
I know why

But you said I don't know
You said I don't know
You said I don't know
You said I don't know
You don't know

You said I don't know
You said I don't know
You said I don't know
You don't know

You said I don't know
You said I don't know
You said I don't know
You don't know

You said I don't know
You said I don't know
You said I don't know

Just take it away
What you find
And heal my broken jaw
I am here, and I've slain my hero
What you need is higher than your shame
