Jay Parish - Music Thing Lyrics

I cross my fingers behind my back
And hope you like it
I never say how many days it took me
Just to write it

If it makes you move
You're attention is undivided
But if it doesn't
I would've been better off staying silent

So if the next one hits, am I no longer a failure
And all of a sudden, crazy's no longer my alias
But if it never happens, I should have known better
Or is there no other way that it can go whenever

You fall in love with this music thing
This thing that doesn't even know that you exist
You risk it all for this music thing
You know what'll happen and you still can't resist

Just to become another name they'll never know of
Another dreamer that just can't let go and grow up
Running after some music thing
In pursuit of this music thing

I cross my fingers and
Hope this rhythm puts you under

Act like it doesn't bother me
When you don't want to hear another

But after so many tries
I can't ignore the numbers
I turn around and smile
Like it doesn't make me suffer

So if the next one hits, am I no longer a failure
And all of a sudden, crazy's no longer my alias
But if it never happens, I should have known better
Or is there no other way that it can go whenever

You fall in love with this music thing
This thing that doesn't even know that you exist
You risk it all for this music thing
You know what'll happen and you still can't resist

Just to become another name they'll never know of
Another dreamer that just can't let go and grow up
Running after some music thing
In pursuit of this music thing

They tell me it's nothing more
Than just some music thing
I know it can be something more
Than just some music thing

You fall in love with this music thing
This thing that doesn't even know that you exist
You risk it all for this music thing
You know what'll happen and you still can't resist

Just to become another name they'll never know of
Another dreamer that just can't let go and grow up
Running after some music thing
In pursuit of this music thing

Just to become another name they'll never know of
Another dreamer that just can't let go and grow up
Running after some music thing
In pursuit of this music thing
