lyrics

Can't find my way out
I think I'm trapped here
A cold cardboard box
With sun fluorescent lighting
Could be dinner one day
Or scratches on another
Waiting on a voice
To pick me up, pick me up

I swear to god
this might be it for me

Counting footsteps
Like scraping off the pavement
A burst of understanding
Just try to keep up
Yes, the buildings are tall
No, the people are taller
Six billion lives and one year for me

Oh, I swear to god
I wish I could let it be

And I can't find a minute
But I promise I'll explain
It's sad, I'm at my limit
I'll trust you, is that okay?

One dozen roses
Two frozen lifetimes
A warm summer day but I'll be seeing winter
Meanwhile this mystery of sudden disappearance
Is wrapped neat and tidy
Boxed up on the top shelf
Second after second
Like crawling through the stitches
Pages of our album will all tear and burn up
Then suddenly I'll feel it
Some traction in my bloodstream
The cardiac vacation you generously paid for

I swear to god
This is what you meant to me

Goodbye
As if I have a choice
