We're All Too Busy Working, Entertaining Ourselves

We Made Love On The Living Room Floor With The Noise In The Background Of A Televised War And In That Defeaning Pleasure I Thought I Heard Someone Say If We Walk Away They'll Walk Away

When I Try To Explain To People The Big Influences In My Life, Or At Least When I First Started, The Most Important Ones Were My Friends Who Were Also Writing Songs And Were Typically Four Or Five Years Older Than Me.

I Want To Be The Surgeon Who Cuts You Open Who Fixes All Of Life's Mistakes I Want To Be The House That You Were Raised In The Only Place Where You Feel Safe. I Wanna Be A Shower In The Morning That Wakes You Up And Makes You Clean I Know I'm Just The Weather Against Your Window As You Sleep Through A Winter's Dream

There's A Lot Of Optimism In Changing Scenery, In Seeing What's Down The Road.

I Wanna Be Your Happiness. I Wanna Be Your Common Sense Pain.
