In Layman’s Terms
When the car breaks down you’ll have a head start getting help and I hope that you’ll
Come back to me and help me fix whatever’s broke if the wrench that you got fits
The nuts and bolts that got loose somehow when I wasn’t looking
When I wasn’t expecting anything to collapse
You can make it easier on both of us
Take this song, or don’t take it, just do something, let me know
Don’t just sit there saying that you hate your life
I used to be a big part of your life
Here I stand, in front of you
In layman’s terms, my collar blue
That is all I can offer you and
It’s not that deep
It seems to me that you have been reserving something as if you were skeptical
About this situation, as if it may just stop sometime, and you need something for backup
Something tucked away for safety’s sake
I will hit you as hard as I love you all
Take this song, or don’t take anything, just do something
Make your fucking move
Don’t just sit there saying that you hate your life
I used to be a big part of your life
Here I stand, in front of you
In layman’s terms, my collar’s fucking blue
That is all I can offer you and
It’s not that deep
