about

This song is about not being things that people call you. Fuck those people.

lyrics

I’m no bear
Well you can see that from there
I’m not big
You’ve got nothing to fear

You’re no deer
Well, I can see that from here
You’re no faun
You’re not searching for a steer

If I’m sleeping, I’m sorry, forgive me
If I miss you, I’m sorry, don’t miss me

I’m no cloud
I don’t surround myself in shrouds
I’m not white
Oh, I wouldn’t make you proud

If I’m sleeping, I’m sorry, forgive me
If I miss you, I’m sorry, don’t miss me.
If I’m sleeping, well, I’m sorry, please forgive me
And if I missed you, my apologies, just don’t miss me

You’re no sky
I can see that in your eyes
You don’t go dark
And you never say goodbye

If I’m sleeping, I’m sorry, forgive me
If I miss you, I’m sorry, don’t miss me
And if I’m sleeping, well, I swear, I’m sorry, please forgive me
And if I missed you, well, I suggest that you don’t miss me
