Alphabet |
Late at night cloudy white will creep over my old house |
And the chair where I once sat |
Someone new is there and he’ll stare at that wall |
And we’re all parts of an alphabet |
We spell new words in new spots we’re at |
And the big, round, blue boat drifts around in the dark |
When you feel like a jerk does it make you confused |
Like how could you become as awesome as you are |
And still feel like a loser |
When you feel ugly and petty |
Awkward and unsteady |
Just try not to forget there’s so many people who’ve liked you |
And I hope that the art school enjoys your big drawing of ruin |
We’ve all got good things to do and it’s good when we do them |
From Austin to Brooklyn |
They’re all smart and good-looking |
We’re all parts of an alphabet |
Spell new words with new folks we met |
And the big, round, blue boat drifts around in the dark |
And the big, round, blue boat drifts around in the dark |
And they say that we’ll drift for awhile until we die |
And the sun hits a spiral |
It’s a combination lock |
And I’m just hoping that I’ll get it open |
And that these joys and frustrations are just turns in the combination |
