Oceans and Frogs
Psychologically it's me and even I know
This world in shambles is a miserable place we still hold on to
I beg her not to miss me, she just brushes it off with a nonchalant shrug
Place a damp towel under all the doors, inhale, and you fall asleep
There's no pain anymore
A bright Monday morning opening up in this finely kept room
The morning sun peeks through the windows and then by evening it's gone
The last time I see it set
By morning, too, yes I'll be long gone
Well I guess I just never quite figured it out
This complicated layout of runways across San Francisco to the Ross Ice Shelf
This is pretty straightforward, my parasitic thoughts and just like you
I'm trying to make it easier on myself and get out of the way of you
I'm being torn apart
I really have sincerely thought things through
Just take a look through the looking glass from my perspective, my point of view
All these syllables we try to fit in within 'x'-amount of years
I often sit and ponder and come to the conclusion that it's just not quite worth the wait
You pull up in that street one over and meander on in
Precisely what makes it all ache and bend, I hate to break it to you now
Oceans, rivers, and frogs, everything that can possibly go wrong
There's not much you can do to stop the flow
It's seems like you're doing just fine and that's all I need to know
And again, and again, and again
I need you so much closer
And again, and again, and again
I can see it in your eyes
And again, and again, once more, and again
I wish that you could see me now
And again, and again, and again
I feel so alive
