lyrics

Do Something
Alicia Healey
February 1, 2010


Do something – lie, cheat or steal
Do something – so I know that you’re real
Do something, to help me believe
I ran a mile to touch your face
I ran it back to keep my place
In the regular known
Sweet, safe and serine

CH:
Years go by, ain’t nothing change
You and I tag team taking the blame
Promise the best, plan for the worst
A dead-stupid plan
A living curse

Do (change?) something – though nothing is wrong
Do something – though we both still belong
To Something, that won’t go away
An ache in your heart, a burr in my brain
Every day begins and ends the same
I gotta do something

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
F Am 3x then G F then G to E

Broken keys and broken dreams – of mad adventure never tried
Standing still, a swirling swill, gotta wonder if we’d do, better if we left and we died
Catching normal never shaking it off, wondering we’d do at the bottom and top
Never getting dirty, each day like today, working so hard to keep it that way.

CHORUS

Do something – stay, come or leave
Do something – just do it me
Do something, to make me believe
Do something – lie, cheat or steal
Do something – so I know that you’re real
Do something, to help me believe
Let’s make believe we got something
