Lyrics Clever Meals - Tegan and Sara

Clever Meals

They aren’t desperate for love and affection
They’re desperate for you
And as you sit out there all sly and sure
Does anyone think as strongly as you do?
I’m quite sure we’ll find one another
In a place that’s better than this, a time filled with us
And we send up our shooting stars and comets
Yeah, we make our little gestures
Yes, we make our little comments
This song is my anthem
And it makes up my ideals
And who I am has benefited from all my
Cleverly planned meals
All my cleverly planned meals
I’m stripped and vital and I see rules that almost fit
So if I voice my opinion, would you stay and sit?
And as I stand her screaming in despair
I said yes this is my life and yes you should care
This song is my anthem (Close your eyes)
And it makes up my ideals (Free your mind)
And who I am has benefited from all my
(Free to fly)
Cleverly planned meals
(To say close your eyes)
All my cleverly planned meals
(Free your mind, free to fly)
Hardly happy at all and I’m ready to take the fall
'Cause we pay for the stupid things we’ve done
Where we come from
Can you sit through this or is it going to be too deep?
Will you ever use common sense?
It comes pretty cheap
So if I speak more clearly, if I make more sense
Will you just shut your mouth?
You won’t come across quite so dense
And so close your eyes
Free your mind
You’re free to fly
Close your eyes
I free my mind
I’m free to fly
I said close your eyes
And may you free your mind
You’re free to fly
I said close your eyes
And may you free your mind
You’re free to fly
She said close your eyes
And said free your mind
You’re free to fly
She said close your eyes
Free your mind
Free to fly
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
I will free your mind
You’re free to fly
This song is my anthem
And it makes up my ideals
And who I am has benefited from all my
Cleverly planned meals
All my cleverly planned meals
