lyrics
People they put out their arms
and sing a sad going away song
People they rely on their charms
but that doesn't work at all
It's depressing when you ask people what they like
And all they can say is go home and rest tonight
And all night through the starless haze
A gentle magnetic pull that holds you tight
Wake up from your slumber
Possibilities a mile high
Birds fly in high numbers
People they feel used
When they get stepped on
From up above
People don't like to choose
They like to have all the choice in the world
I talk the talk but I never really walked the walk singing
about it in a song isn't the same at all
I wish that I had
Something that could make me
Feel twice as bad
About all this complaining
I play my guitar
And I play it out of tune
you like baseball cards
And Barbecues in June
People they put out their arms
and sing a sad going away song
People they rely on their charms
but that doesn't work at all
I view my life through a narrow lens
Low depth of field high width of friends
Take the ivory mother nature sends
Leave behind the body of the elephants
I steal honey from the honey bee
Blue electric lights on the porch
Match the glimmer of my TV
I wish that had
A simpler plain view
What don't you have
That makes you a stranger?
Chances measured by Arm's Length
It's not a song it's a fact
Write it in a book or carve it in stone
'Cause that won't show the cracks
