Broken Jaw Songtext
von Foster the People

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I′ve broken every law
All the words come out my broken jaw
I don't know anything
But then I act like I know everything

Don′t want to talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
I had been broke down from my enemies
I'm drifting further from my memories

And then you take it away

Every day, I'm fighting ′cause I can′t leave it
I feel the weight, then I come back down
Watch from the sides and I try to reach out
Just a little bit closer, then I come back down


Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

You tell me, "What's my name?"
I′m the same, I've just been rearranged
Smile through a choke inside
Yeah, I′ve been hiding with nothing to hide

Don't want to talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
I had been broke down from my enemies
Just holding a piece of what′s been left of me

And then you take it away

Every day, I'm fighting 'cause I can′t leave it
I feel the weight, then I come back down
Watch from the sides and I try to reach out
Just a little bit closer, then I come back down

Pushing me, pushing me, I can feel it, yeah
Just a little bit higher, then I come back down
Climbing over people ′cause I've been blinded
I′m waiting, I'm waiting around


Sometimes you find yourself waiting
Waiting for someone to come around
And it′s hopeless, hoping to be found
Then it arrives and says, "You're perfect, my love"
And I
I know why
I know why
I know why

But you said, "I don′t know"

You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don′t know," you don′t know

You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don′t know"
You said, "I don't know," you don′t know

You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don′t know"
You said, "I don't know," you don't know

You said, "I don′t know"
You said, "I don′t know"
You said, "I don't know"

So take it away, yeah
When you find and heal my broken jaw, yeah
I′m here, and I've slayed my hero, yeah
What you need is higher than your shame, yeah
