Lyrics
Verse
I wish I was hollow, nothin’ but skin
‘cause then it would be easier, tryin’ to be a human
And when I’m finally empty, I’ll try to fill me up with beer
And watch it leak through all the holes, in my heart and in my soul
Chorus
La De Da De Da De Da whistle while you work
La De Da De Da De Da, the worlds on the brink
La De Da De Da De Da turn the other cheek
Verse
When things are goin’ bad, when things are goin’ wrong
I don’t like bein’ always sad, but I write a better song
And when you find your soul mate, well it’s a bitter sweet end
Because you’ll never ever get to, fall in love again
Chorus
La De Da De Da De Da whistle while you work
La De Da De Da De Da, the worlds on the brink
La De Da De Da De Da try not to overthink
