[Part I: Soon]


[Verse]

I won't need to think of nice things to say

I don't want to want this way anymore

Shh now, hear comes silence

From this comes strength, I promise

This is it, soon, I won't care

No need for pain

Nothing physical, no violence

Just intense thought

Some space, some silence

Just something pure

And precious worth having

Soon, I won't care

Take this ridiculous mood all away

Give me something new I could say

Give me no more time to look like this

I'll never ask again, I promise


[Part II: Plan B]


[Verse 1]

You've always been searching for somethin'

Which always seems to be so-so

Even so

Tightly close your eyes

Hold out your hand, we'll make a stand

Forget their plans and their demands


[Chorus]

Plan B

They're testin' you, don't worry (Plan B)

This week, I'm strong enough for two

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm comin', comin'

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm runnin'

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm burnin'

(Stop, stop, stop) Wouldn't sell you anything


[Interlude]

Well, it starts off just jokin'

I mean, just jokin'

And then they stop talkin' to you

Believe me, that's the worst thing of all

The worst thing of all


[Verse 2]

Whispers more than loud enough

Try to

Make you feel not good enough

Try this, like this

Don't believe your eyes

Hold out your hand, we'll make a stand

Forget their plans and their demands


[Chorus]

Bill Withers was good for me (Plan B)

Pretend I'm Bill and lean on me (Plan B)

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm comin', comin'

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm runnin'

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm burnin', burnin'

(Stop, stop, stop) Wouldn't sell you anything

(Plan B) Hold on to me

No, don't be nervous, just trust in me (Plan B)

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm comin', comin'

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm runnin'

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm burnin', burnin'

(Stop, stop, stop) Wouldn't sell you anything

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm comin', I'm comin', comin', comin'

(Stop, stop, stop) I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'ma

(Stop, stop, stop) Comin', comin', comin', comin'

Comin', comin', I'm a comin', I'm a, I'm a

(Stop, stop, stop) Wouldn't sell you anything


[Outro]

(Plan B)

(Plan B) Hold on to me, I said

(Plan B) No, don't be nervous, just trust in me

(Plan B) I'll make you feel more confident

(Plan B) I'll make you feel more confident, believe in me

(Plan B) You'll feel less nervous

(Plan B) You'll feel less nervous, just trust in me

(Plan B) Now listen, if there's any way

(Plan B) Just believe in me, don't go near anybody

(Plan B) Until you see me, let me tell ya

(Plan B) Bill Withers was good for me

(Plan B) I'll be Bill, I'll be Bill

(Plan B) I'll be Bill if you'll be me

(Plan B) Pretend I'm Bill, I'm Bill and lean on me

(Plan B) Hold on, come on, hold on, hold on, hold on
