Jealous of the Universe

Jealous of the Universe 
Words by Clint Collins 
April 11, 2016

She wakes up, first thing
and then checks that off her list
She says it's love but it might be obligation
Cuz she's out the door a goodbye kiss
she blames the sky for her rainy situation
I think we're close enough but she has to be exact 
Cuz if the sun ain't shining, then her heart's under attack 

She wants to have it her way 
to have her cake and eat it too 
she wants the world to fit in her plan 
like a foot inside a shoe 
she wants it to be perfect be it a blessing or a curse 
she can't really help it she's just jealous of the universe

Two different means to the same ends manipulation but she says she's being subtle 
but if different means we're wrong then nobody wins
what are we doing if we can't meet in the middle 
I'm trying to slow down she's running from the cops
 I hand her my umbrella but she'd rather dodge the raindrops

She wants to have it her way 
to have her cake and eat it too 
she wants the world to fit in her plan 
like a foot inside a shoe 
she wants it to be perfect be it a blessing or a curse 
she can't really help it she's just jealous of the universe

She can't really help it 
She can't really help it 
She can't really help it 
And it comes out when we talk 
She can't really help it 
She can't really help it
She can't really help it
She's just human after all
