I’m Sensitive (Live at Inner Change Coffee House, San Diego, CA / July 28 & 29, 1994) Lyrics

[Intro]
Okay, I gotta think about it. I was really bummed when I wrote this
'Cause it's funny when you grow up in Homer, Alaska, it's so beautiful and it's really easy to have some faith, you know what I mean? And faith after all is what carries you through like the darkest of days. You just have to believe time will pass, somehow the tide will come back in and I won't feel so incredibly shitty tomorrow. And it's hard 'cause like people lose faith, you know, when you're surrounded by crime and murder and pollution every day. But it's really what like makеs everything okay. And I think if we could just bе, shut up, I'm talking. That was obnoxious, girl. I was kidding. God, I'm insulting people. So anyway, I thought if just we could be surrounded in beauty, we'd become what we see. Because all that we're told in the news is how evil we are and how racist we are, and all these things.

[Verse 1]
I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things that you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So, please be careful with me
I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way

[Verse 2]
You always tell me that it's impossible
To be respected, and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
Oh, please be careful with me
I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way

[Verse 3]
And I was thinking, that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we'll give it to everybody that has some faith
Oh, please be careful with me
I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way
[Verse 4]
I have this theory, that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
Maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
It's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way

[Spoken Outro]
Kinda dorky, but

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
