Prove It - The Rocket Summer

«Good evening»

She says to herself with haughty eyes

The motive lies behind them

He walks in proudly, loosens his tie

So satisfied to keep walking past

All the people you used to know

I say hello, «Please to meet you,» she said

Although I knew her some years ago

What are you trying to prove?

What are you trying to lose

As you condescend through the room

With your subtle grip on the ruins of old?

What are you trying to prove?

What are you doing talking bad on those you knew

With your subtle grip on the ruins

Of ten years ago and counting?

So just stop it, hey, take it easy

It’s not hard to see you’ve had one too many

And do you kiss your mother

With that mouth you have talking at me?

And do you think you try too hard?

You’re holding on to things forgotten

So how are you?

I am sincerely asking about you

What are you trying to prove?

What are you trying to lose

As you condescend through the room

With your subtle grip on the ruins of old?

What are you trying to prove?

What are you doing talking bad on those you knew

With your subtle grip on the ruins

Of ten years ago and counting?

So slow down

You don’t have anything to prove

So quit the self-aggrandizing

What are you trying to prove?

What are you trying to lose

As you condescend through the room

With your subtle grip on the ruins of old?

What are you trying to prove?

What are you doing talking bad on those you knew

With your subtle grip on the ruins

Of ten years ago and counting?

Did I nail?

Did I nail it?

Nail it, yeah I nailed

Yeah I nailed it, nailed it
