She's good with quick goodbyes
And whenever she rolls her eyes
That's her admission of guilt
On the temper she built
And, for me, that's her most familiar side
She was my lullaby personified, my vision in the mist
But her contacts were all promoters and a westside therapist
The 5ams, the worried friends, the parting of her lips
But I needed to witness someone wrestle with what it means to just exist
I didn't hear the picture window break
I didn't see the rising sun
But I could feel the morning breeze
Then I heard her tired voice speak up
And say 'I think this party's done'
She asked if I could drive her home
And then she added 'please'
PLEASE!
I will move somewhere the ocean's never seen
Somewhere weeds just make their claims
Where my best friends exist only on screen
Where my love all fits in frames
The favorites get their favors
And this stranger's getting stranger everyday
The great ones all get greater
And this stranger's getting stranger everyday
Your sister's always mortally offended
At the mispronunciation of her name
Telling all her newer clients
That the W is silent
Before she sends them out the way they came
I buckle in my seat belt and plug my headset in a chair
And to the music I watch flight attendants move
They are pointing out the exits but it looks more like a prayer
Or an ancient dance their bloodline reaches through
And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
Like the convert singing his morning prayers
Or the scientist to the polar bear
I'm never gonna say goodbye
I just asked my folks not to pay my rent
But I still feel like a kid
I finally learned what NASDAQ meant
But I still feel like a kid
I'm about to be a married man
But I still feel like a kid
The silent conversation gets directed toward the view
The cursive in the branches describes the avenue
The words like 'I am sorry' and 'I'm still in love with you'
Become a debt that won't get paid
Just another sound that no one made
