In Theory - Kina Grannis

I always say these things, these theories

I sound so wise, but see, these eyes are crying

It doesn’t take too much to make yourself sound rational

But there are things that simple words cannot control

Whenever I run, I’m bound up and shackled

By a sovereign mind

Whenever I’m lost, it’s my own intention

And I’m left behind

When I was a child, my future was nothing

But a game I played

But that time is here and things aren’t pretend now

But I’m learning how

'Cause I’ve seen it end

And I’ve seen a friend go by

No monsters were here, but I know real fear

And what it is to cry

Reach out for love

Reach out for love

Can’t you see I can’t sleep and I’m calling

For love?

I always say these things, these theories

I sound so wise, but see, these eyes are crying

It doesn’t take too much to make yourself sound rational

But there are things that simple words cannot control
