You're in a hot car in Winnipeg
I'm in a market in Calarasi
I can't pronounce the name quite right
But it's okay, cause the feeling's there
Right there, I swear
Oh man, I know now that I'm selfish
Cause if I wasn't, I would've thought of you sooner
The better man always puts the other above him, winner or loser

The plane flies over Paris
And I'm staring through my phone
Numbers fly through my head space
Every day I've ever known
Your name, I can't replace
Even if I try
Something just isn't the same
It just don't feel right

They say it's natural
Pour gasoline on your heart and it'll catch fire
But I feel like we don't understand the equation
Or the value of the human connection
And honestly, I'm sick of myself and the world
I'm under the mattress of my love
Curled hair surrounds me
And it's getting uncomfortably okay

But underneath my natural shell
There's a mind and a soul that wants to be held in the light
To not be ashamed by its thoughts and prayers
And everything it's seen and heard
But no one cares
Do you even care?
Hope somebody cares
I hope you care...
