johnée - coming of rage lyrics
[verse 1]
i had a dream it was ’94 and i met you in a record store i worked in
your old zeppelin shirt and your brady bunch perm
so much for golden age thinking
you walked through the door like a rolling stone
cut through to my skin and bones
all caught up in my feelings
i choke on my words, there’s a lump in my throat
too close to the sun, i can’t quite put my finger
strip down to my soul, naked in my clothes
spilled like your cherry coke
”enjoy the kick, don’t be a buzzk!ller”
you know i never hang with the boys in the band
that’s why i don’t get along with your straight+edge mates
but you look so wild and free shoegazing
in the supermarket parking lot on your cigarette break
[pre+chorus]
you work in a sh+t hole you hate
i know there’s so much on your plate
getting old, growing pains
i wanna take you out of the city
come away with me
escape from the crowds and the claws of this soul+k!lling place
[chorus]
walking past a dead end street
hands of time have caressed me
barely didn’t make the edge of seventeen
and to think of all the time i’ve spent
worryin’ about make amends
halcyon days have fade to grey and golden age is now in past tense
but i sense a heart of change
and even if we don’t stay friends
this coming of rage has come to an end
[verse 2]
i had a dream we were walking up and down the streets of milwaukee
it was the ’70s, i wrote you a letter you didn’t read
but then one day you called me
i ran in the rain and you chased me round the bend with an argument
your hair on your face and my overshare of regrets
i love you with your characters flaws and all+isms
i know your jokes are just blowing smoke
you don’t always have to be the toughest link
you were raised to keep it down low
and your feelings bottled up since you were a kid
i’ve decided i don’t wanna face my final hours
what if i never name a child after my favorite flower?
i don’t think i’m ready to throw in the towel
i wanted you to stay but i don’t have the power
so i’m setting you free
[pre+chorus 2]
old+fashioned lover, i met my other half
said you’ll take care of my mother and cut me some slack
help me chase my blues away
don’t tell me not to be sad
’cause i can’t separate the good from bad
i won’t always be the one you met
worst of both worlds but i do my best
[chorus]
walking past a dead end street
hands of time have caressed me
barely didn’t make the edge of seventeen
and to think of all the time i’ve spent
worryin’ about make amends
halcyon days have fade to grey and golden age is now in past tense
but i sense a heart of change
and i’ll find it in myself to love again
this coming of rage has come to an end
[bridge]
i stretch myself too thin
i don’t know any different than try to fit in
i’ve always been like this
if i could leave me for a minute, i’d take away from this city
somewhere no one can clip my wings
you always saw the good in me i couldn’t see
my spirit was born to run free
like tear down your rose+colored cheek
don’t set no boundaries
just say, ”there’s nothing about this that i would try and fix”
[chorus]
but i sense a heart of change
and i’ll find a way to break free and be who i am
this coming of rage has come to an end
