I was in love and you were understood how
could that be anything but good I
knew all your beauty marks and knew all your flaws how
did I end up between two jaws?
Now I'm a ghost the ghost who haunts her
your mouth was warm but you're not a monster
Now I'm a hypocrite all grown up now
you are the tea leaves in my tea cup.
oooh-- now I understand, stepping back from those old plans
fresh off a trip polaroids still faded
Hard sweet amber, I'm still jaded.
I can see the world it's a cool new place
but it's quiet and cold here in outer space.
oooohhhhhhh
You can call me doctor, you can call me captain
looking through the glass in real time action
Came to see the meteor streak through past
and I left foggy breath on the window glass.
Clouds like Judy sings like candy
Princess stories come in handy
Astronauts and firefighters were so cool
But the cold war and factories invented school
oooooh-- now I understand, but I love spreadsheets and holding hands
fingers are gloves or a globe on a t-shirt
big happy smiles make my face hurt.
ooooohhhhhh
Sometimes I'd ask when I'd feel lost
Were those things really a part of me
I like spreadsheets tallying costs
But I'll ask that to the amber trees.
Boxes boxes numbers numbers/ I sure missed those as a plumber
I saw houses kitchen sinks/ I met real people and they made me think.
ooooh--- gather round the table
space station thanksgiving are we able
Those bad feelings were our fathers' fight
We are new people in brand new daylight
Smile eat and let things go we were all a little wrong and we'll keep being so.
ooooohhhhh
There are feelings there is knowledge
I learned a lot in my first year of college
I get intense and I get stuck and my grades are mostly google and good luck.
I thought I knew you cover and back but I always skipped the chapter with the shark attack
Now I can name it, Carcharodon but
my sharks need wrinkles from now on.
Slow slow moonwalks, waking up to dawn
drinking tea and taking breaths and remembering I'm wrong.
Slow morning walks wet grass lawn--
I don't wonder anymore where I've gone.


Slow slow growing, waking up alone
drinking tea and taking walks and knowing that I'm wrong.
