I never knew
The sky
Could burn a hole into my empty head
I never knew
A smile
Could turn us into enemies instead
Oh, the never-ending bliss
Of moments that you missed returning
Back like waves
For second tries at luck
The luck you didn't have
Back then but now that it
Don't matter much it's easy love
And strangers acting like your oldest friends

It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot
I wanna hold onto the innocence I got
It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot
I wanna care for all
The little things I got

I should have seen
The signs, clovers starting dying in the field
I shouldn't be
Surprised when all the sudden all of it is real
Oh, I tried to write a book
But I misunderstood what I had seen and
So the story made no sense
And stories all depend on whose perspective
You prefer is it an I or is it her
And does it matter in the end

It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot
I wanna hold onto the innocence I got
It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot
I wanna care for all
The little things I got

I saw a film and cried cause beauty
Has a way of crushing me
I took a pill
And sighed cause I've done things
Against which I believe
Oh, I think of you at night
When my mind won't stay quiet
And I've got someone sleeping peacefully at home
But peace don't reach my bones
The sadness still remains and though
I sing the same refrain
It all amounts to no one knows

It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot
I wanna hold onto the innocence I got
It's just a lot, it's just a lot, it's just a lot
I wanna care for all
The little things I got

You get it right
You get it wrong
It never stops
It's just a lot
