You like to sing the blues, I like to feel it
You listen to the news but it’s too real for me
I try to close my eyes, but my heart is racing
Chasing me to places I don’t wanna go
I try to slow down, think about this situation
You’re too young to have a heart attack, a heart attack
I know your lungs feel tiny for the air they’re breathing
But they can do it, come on, look back, look back
They haven’t failed you for 24 years now
They haven’t failed you ever before
They’ll stretch as wide as you will allow
Come on, breath deep, head to the floor and
Don’t be so serious, don’t panic
They like you just fine, don’t panic
I know it feels real, but it’s all in your mind
So come on, tell yourself
Don’t panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic
They tried to give me tiny pills in tiny bottles
I said, “No thanks, I can do it on my own”
Mother told me, “Don’t take sweets from strangers”
But I think the rule applies to chemicals
I wanna be free like the monks in the monastery
I wanna be cool like the kids on TV
I wanna feel like the story in the book I’m reading
Doesn’t have a thing at all to do with me
Doesn’t have a thing at all to do with me
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious
