lyrics

i hope you know
this isnt what i wanted
i hope you know
that i care

i hope you know
this isnt what i wanted
i hope you know
that i care

last night i saw my first cousin
in little little ethiopia
he has 21 years on me but he always tried to make it
feel like none
we didnt really talk

the next day at the top of the hill he pinned a succulent
to his breast
it matched the bouquet
he asked me how i was holding up and i said good i dont know how true that was

i heard pumped up kicks at the reception and i
kind of wanted to get drunk but i didnt know how
and also i could never
and then i did and then i lied

so i walked around with my empty water glass
and my brother who almost understands me
and i still hide my emotions
while i project something else

last summer we met my cousin david at eagle river
it was there that i saw happy memories
and the night sky through the trees
and the yellow light through the windows
while i watched the campfire burn

and honestly i laugh more than i cry
and honestly i laughed more than i cried
but when they danced to neil young
i wanted to get up and just keep rising

and when city lights came on
i buried myself in my notes and thought about
suddenly dying

but then i watched a baby sleep
and ate an ice cream sandwich with an edible wrapper
and i thought about how far ive come
and i really felt a lot better

and yes it all makes me think of myself
but most of all
it makes me love them

and as her brother the reverend said tonight
oh partners for life

drown your troubles in
spite
do you sleep with a
light

drown your troubles in
spite
do you sleep with a
light

i hope you know
this isnt what i wanted
i hope you know
that i care

i hope you know
this isnt what i wanted
i hope you know
that i care

every day i want to get up on your porch top
but i hope that we can keep this going on
and i know how this looks for you
but id never mean to cause you any pain

i hope you know
this isnt what i wanted
i hope you know
that i care

i hope you know
this isnt what i wanted
i hope you know
that i care

and then we did it at the drop of a feather
we were asleep but i wish i could go back
i got everything id pined for
i lost everything i had

i hope you know
this isnt what i wanted
i hope you know
that i care

i hope you know
this isnt what i wanted
i hope you know
that i care
