lyrics

So tomorrow at work I’ll be useless
I’ll be hungry and tired and blue
Either because I didn’t get enough sleep
Or because I have been thinking of you
Because you pulled on the tab that said “try me”
And you figured I would last you for years
And now a couple of AAs later I am still kinda standing right here

I left my fingers wide open
And I painted my heart on my knees
I left my body ajar, I told you not to go far
But that I would come and go as I please
So I think I’ll leave you down at the town line
Where I figure is where you’ll wanna be
Amidst the old pull out couches, the smashed televisions
The toasters and washing machines

I tried my very best to be cryptic
And I think that for the most part I failed
Considering the fact that I’m pretty messed up
From all these chlorine fumes I have inhaled
And when I finally get around to this sweeping
I’ll have probably worn a hole in my pants
From the blurred double vision and the red-eye reduction
In these images that I have enhanced

Since I got out of my box I’ve been faulty
And my laces have always been torn
And there’s something about the way you rattle my cage
That makes me wish that I’d never been born
And you chose a peculiar method to say you’re no longer my biggest fan
You stopped liking my jokes, you threw a stick in my spokes, and you ran
