Somewhere beneath the old basement
You still walk across my mind
Hungry like a rich person
Making the money store cry
Using a sponge to clean another sponge
On a road that lacks perspective
Heck everyone knows somebody
Hold your horses just for a sec
It’s time to release the hate in your heart
There’s nothing more romantic
Than genuine friendship
Hanging with you is almost therapy
It’s borderline art
My heart is skipping beats for a friend
With nothing but a leaf blower
Against the whole entire world
Taking the sad train to and from Vegas
Looking for small town vibes in the big city
Singing lighthearted love songs
In heavy hearted times
We can be two little people
Cruising through an infinitely big universe today

I can’t stop re-reading old mail
And I know they’re never gonna change
Walking through the same exact path
It never felt so strange
Seeking out all the familiar
Because that’s most comfortable for me
Can we still be friends in October
I will have you over
I’ve been thinking about watching a film
And giving it my full attention
Have you seen Citizen Cain?
That’s one I’ll mention
How would you deal with having that much
Even though you never even earned it
Funny how time will change the way we see
The rosebud never leaves
They say middle age comes up on you so quick
You might never even notice it
Several men standing in their yards
Making sure their sprinklers work
Seeking out all unfamiliar things
So we have something new to see
Can we still be friends in November
And all the months after?

You asked me to change your name
In my contacts for you
You said it would be better
If the words meant something more true
We listened to Chance the Rapper
And that lead to something we’d use
And the words never felt more wrong
Daddy Long is the one we’d choose
You like to change it up
In ways that I can’t keep up
But I find it so inspiring
So I’ll write them in my diary
You’re still waiting
For me to change your name
As a contact that I choose
And I think I’ve finally decided
To go with Baby Grumps for you

Look at the moon
It’s an absolute miracle
Do you think it’s true
The things they say
About the moon
Do you feel the energy
Barking up that old tree
Does it whisper melodies
That will help you fall asleep
If you’re feeling crazy
Then maybe just maybe
The moon does this daily
I can’t feel my toes
The wind feels oh so cold
My emotions are wack
Will the moon
Please cut us some slack
Look at the moon
It makes us who we are
Do you think it’s true
The things that they say
About the moon
If you’re feeling crazy
Then maybe just maybe
The moon does this daily

Mentally unstable dying angel
Can I be your temple?
I want to know lyrics you think of
When you’re rapping in the shower
The best things in life
Just really are not things
Good job you made your mother swear again
Inside her head
She can’t control your life, it’s you instead
You have your own existential dread
Existential dread
You got a slow car
That’s alright with me
Heading down to the ocean side
To get away from the government
Who is trying to make you feel insane
I’ll tell you what
We’re gonna get away and everything
Will feel okay
It’s gonna be a-okay baby
Where do I get me one of these
Self-esteem machines?
Seems like I misplaced mine
May I borrow one of yours please
Bro, am I simply asking far too much
Of you right now?
If so, no worries it’s fine, no prob
I’ll figure it out anyhow
I’m just a millennial clown inside this town
It feels pretty good sometimes
But then I’m down
You said “wow you must be fun at parties”
And I said “That’s not true”
I know you’re kidding
But I will tell you
I’m righteously aware of my insignificance
And I tend to think we don’t even really exist
We might not even exist
At least when we’re driving in your slow car
Forget it now, let’s love who we are

Your Way

The way you care for plants
Is the sweetest thing that I have ever seen
But now I know I’m on the same road
You fuel my roots with as much
Tender love and care
I love every day that I get to see you
There with me
Things are not always easy
As a slice of cake
The fact that life hasn’t been handed to us
As such means that
We are strong independent
Grown up adults
I love that we truly earn our way of life
And it feels so right
The way you care for others
Aside from yourself
Is exactly the kind of thing
That makes my whole world
Sing songs of you

Hiding somewhere on the lower floors
With no-one else to walk through her doors
She is dreaming of staying right there
All by her lonesome mystery billionaire
With four adopted children she never sees
She gave them each their own nannie
To watch them upstairs
Her absence uncanny
What lead you to feel the need to steal
Yourself from the world
And hide away for real
Where do you come from
How do you do
Mrs. Mysterious
Mrs. Mysterious
Mrs. Mysterious
