Nothing Gets Crossed Out (Companion Version) Bright Eyes

[Verse 1]
Well, the future's got me worried, such awful thoughts
My head's a carousel of pictures, the spinnin' never stops
I just want someone to walk in front
And I'll follow the leader

[Verse 2]
Like when I fell under the weight of a schoolboy crush
Started carryin' her books and doin' lots of drugs
I almost forgot who I was
But I came to my senses

[Verse 3]
Now I'm tryin' to be assertive, I'm makin' plans
Gonna rise to the occasion, meet all their demands
All I do now is lay in bed
And hide under the covers

[Refrain]
Well, I know I should be brave
But I'm just too afraid of all this change

[Verse 4]
It's too hard to focus through all this doubt
Keep makin' these to-do lists but nothin' gets crossed out
Workin' on the record seems pointless now
When the world ends, who's gonna hear it?
