broken record on a payphone
somebody told me this was water i could drink from
i got to sighing
as i let the pigeons fly in
take your ordinary dreamcoat
just get another if the other doesn't do it for you
you gotta buy in
as all of the pigeons are trying
i need an ordinary scapegoat
something other than everything i'm doing for you
i started crying
as all of my pigeons are here dying
i can't even fly

leave me without any money
just a matchbook and a watch
i'll find a way, i'll find a way
i'll find a way to thrive
live me without any roles
try to indent me with more loans
i'll find a way, i'll find a way
i'll find a way to thrive
i've been around so
i can treat myself
i'll find a way, i'll find a way
i'll find a way to thrive

what can i say

never knew my passion
never knew my field
never knew my calling
what can i say?
never knew my career
never knew my fate
what can i say?
they asked me to take
out another loan
to pay for my life
i just want a job
that i don't hate
but i'll get my earnings
what can i say?
they asked me to take
out another loan
to pay for my life

after a stand
suddenly still
leaving our posts
ending another argument
what can we mend
frayed to the end?
i don't know how this
spiraled out to nothingness
understand that i have my follies
i understand that we've gone too far
i can't stay angry for too long
i can't stay angry for too long
i can't stay angry for too long
i need
to be laughing with you
i can admit
after the fact
i've been defensive
and you've been trying everything
you can relate
i don't know how
we've been impatient
and we try for the alternate
i understand that i have my follies
i understand that i've got too far
i can't stay angry for too long
i can't stay angry for too long
i can't stay angry for too long
i need to be laughing with you

land

i've been discovering land
it's really nothing at all
but i don't know why
you've got some specks stuck still in your eyes
you never knew inside
when an angel called your name out loud
'cause you drowned 'em out
i never know why
i always call out the answers
but you gotta know this time
the reason why this day came
when you leave for work
toast yourself with your knife and fork
when you leave from work
haunt yourself with the patterns that you gained
you're out there looking for land
like there's nothing at all

He had a late night, alright!
At the overpass
It was there, that they wrote,
He didn't look right
Then didn't look forwards
Now you don't wanna know
Go figure
I'm not so ready to give my life away
I drive home swerving past animals
She has a, was at a red light
On her way home
I was unaware, making my lunch,
Then wasting time online
Yeah, I feel like it's my fault
Go figure
I'm not so ready to give my life away
I drive home swerving past animals
Route 13 roadkill

Here come falling apples
I'm trying to get one
To hit my head, just right
Gosh, it figures
I was unfortunate this time
Now, here come falling anvils
I'm trying to dodge 'em
But they fill up the sky
Gosh, it figures
I was fortunate this time
I look to the left
Then I come back looking at the right
So much that my head spins around
No no no no no no
