Lyrics Ben Kweller

Ben Kweller

Justify Me

Everywhere you go you never know if you’re coming back

But I don’t care I’m everywhere no place to come back to

Up and down you walk the hallways

Silver face with hands is always “Tick-Tock” on your back, chasin’ you

Justify me

I’m down on my knees

Please, please, please let it go

Oh, it’s so hard

Everyone I’ve been is wonderin’ where I’ve been

And askin’ why I didn’t write when I was in jail

It’s hard to be yourself when everyone is someone else

And everything is somethin’ else and it’s bound to fail

Justify me

I’m down on my knees

Please, please, please let it go

Oh, it’s so hard

Starry skied countryside, magnetic feet on the city street

Oh, it’s so hard

Oh, it’s so hard

Ask yourself, “Who am I?”

Even angels cry sometimes to sanctify

Oh, it’s so hard

Justify me

I’m down on my knees

Please, please, please let it go

Please, please, please let it go

Please, please, please let it go

Oh, it’s so hard
