fitymi Songtext
von Ellis King

Life should be left to right
I see mine back to front
I worry ′bout what's happened
More than what′s to come

That's why I stack my failures
Like mountains of matches
The smoke it fills my lungs
My breath, it keeps on catching

When I was 19
I was looking for a future
Combed the city for love
When I had myself to nurture

And I can look back
And hate myself for it
But I think I'm finally learning
That′s not the way forward


Oh I′ve been trying my whole life
Gotta fake it til you make it, and you're fine
I′ve been looking for perfection every time
Every time
Oh I've been stopped at every red light
Seeing every single thing as a sign
Gotta fake it til you make it, and you′re fine
Oh fine

I've never had skin that heals as fast as I′d like
Every bruise I fear I'm stuck with for life
I could be my worst enemy, when it comes to this
Lack of spatial awareness
And a little too much to give

But time is like a healer and the future looks like now
Came back up for air when I was ready to drown
Now my failures look like blips in the life timeline
I wake up next to you and everything feels fine
Feels fine
Everything feels fine
Feels fine

Oh I've been trying my whole life
Gotta fake it til you make it and you′re fine
I′ve been looking for perfection every time
Every time


Oh I've been stopped at every red light
Seeing every single thing as a sign
Gotta fake it til you make it, and you′re fine
Oh fine
Oh fine
Oh fine
