This song is about not being a dick about mental health problems
lyrics
I’ve got everything together and I’m as happy as can, apparently
Nothing ever gets me down except that everyone is sad except me
And for years I’ve been telling myself the same old lines
That I can’t help you because I haven’t felt your plight
But that’s not right
(All our fears)
I’d like to think I could talk you off a ledge
(Fall on deaf ears)
But I’d just freeze and justify your dread
Just because I don't feel like you
Is no excuse to ignore the truth
So if you decide to talk I won't just listen
I'll carry you through, too
When you feel your soul wavering
Your mind bouncing like on a trampoline
Talk and we’ll speak the language of remedy
It’ll take time but we’ll figure out the secret tongues
I am one of the lucky ones who has love in spades
But I’ve been saving it for when it’s too late
(I’ve) been shutting the door like you’re a Jehovah’s Witness
(I’ve) been treating sadness like it’s an inconvenience
(I’m) peeling myself from my ignorance and finding new bliss
(I’m) trying to make us feel alive
When you feel your soul wavering
Your mind bouncing like on a trampoline
Talk and we’ll speak the language of remedy
It’ll take time but we’ll figure out the secret tongues
