I guess 'cause I wish I was making things too
But I'm working for the knife

I used to think I would tell stories
But nobody cared for the stories I had about
No good guys

I always knew the world moves on
I just didn't know it would go without me
I start the day high and it ends so low
'Cause I'm working for the knife

I used to think I'd be done by 20
Now at 29 the road ahead appears the same
Though maybe at 30 I'll see a way to change
That I'm living for the knife

I always thought the choice was mine
And I was right but I just chose wrong
I start the day lying and end with the truth
That I'm dying for the knife

She's saying that more or less in this verse, really only due to that "kinfe".]]> 2021-10-06 19:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797575292 415168 https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797592932 I think the last verse is kind of big part of the meaning of the song, having a dream as a kid and saying you want to that or this when you are older but when you do get older. You usually don't become what you wanted to be or do as a kid. The last line of this Verse 5 "That I'm dying for the knife" is in a way of saying she's dying for that dream of her's. ]]> 2021-10-06 19:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797592932 415168 https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797759463 2021-10-06 20:49:15 UTC https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797759463 415168 https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797768881 2021-10-06 20:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797768881 415168 https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797773110 2021-10-06 20:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797773110 415168 https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797779124 2021-10-06 21:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/415168/i9crm1vsmf63qn11/wish/1797779124
