lyrics

always halfway
but I'm doing ok
I ought to confess
I mean more or less
okay

I paddle
I swim
to get to the brim
to get a good look
at the recipe book you wrote me into

I dream of beds
where we can finally lay and rest
is this as close we’ll ever get
invented guilt
it takes a lifetime to digest
I don’t think we ever will

the skeleton key
it won’t work on me
the swiss army knife
that once saved your life
is now worthless

she rewrites my jokes
just adding fog to the smoke
well, she did get across
and I’m once again lost in logic

I dream of beds
where we can finally lay and rest
is this as close we’ll ever get
invented guilt
it takes a lifetime to digest
I dream of beds
where we can finally lay and rest
I didn’t think we’d ever go

sit back and let life take you
to where you never really
wanted to go
