Oh, darling have you ever noticed this world is like mixed nuts, packed in a bag
Each person snuggled next to ones they hold dear
And the ones they meet along the ride of life
As we all tumble in this pack, pretending we're peanuts, wearing fake smiles
The sparkle in our eyes is just a mask to hide the truth that we're nutty
Following the orders of happiness
Yet behind the curtain
You'll find we're far less than picturesque
Even hand-in-hand as we sit around the table together, darling
We'll never show you who's truly inside of our hearts
In a home bursting with secrets behind every door and below every floorboard
Biting our tongues, hide your mixed feelings well
Ignore emotions stuck in our teeth like nutshells
Insecurities will find their way to the surface however hard you try
Each and every day is simply bursting with lies (even so)
I'll keep on standing at your side, just as you stand at mine
Though the truth is sharp and painful, I will be your remedy
The world will crack away our shells as if we were peanuts, toss them away
Then leaving us with only ourselves, disguise ripped away, nowhere is left to hide
I just might be the furthest thing from perfect, but I'll always be here
No matter how I'm tossed, or I'm roast, or I'm trodden on
I will be that unbreakable shell for you
There is but one difference between us
One of us was born in the soil, the other reaching towards the sky
This dry land is all but bearable to the nutty pair that is us
I wish the rain could soak into both our homes of earth and sky
You know the world that lies outside is noisy and it drowns out the voices within it
Thunderous roars and the rain starts to pour
Blocking out our stars trying to soar through the sky
In this game we play, mistakes left in our wake is all but inevitable
Our outer shells show just a glimpse of our lives, so let's try
Put all of our worries to rest, it's time to go to bed
In a home bursting with secrets behind every door and below every floorboard
Meals made with love, pre-made but so what?
I'll devour every piece and leave nothing else
Ordinary life, holds questions that have no right or wrong answers, no
Each and every day is simply bursting with lies, even so
I'll keep on standing at your side, just as you stand at mine
Though the truth is sharp and painful, I will be your remedy, woah oh
I swear to hold tight to this miracle of you
Peanuts always we will be, woah
