I’m on all fours crawling ‘round on a hardwood floor
I’m searching for a contact lens
I wish that I could say it’s the first time, but I just
Fired off a message, said “It happened again.”
And in between blind scans, I hold my face to my phone
And beg the stars that it says that you’re typing
A couple words of encouragement or at least understanding
But, alas, all that I’m reading is nothing

I’m focused on the way that you punctuate your sentences
Not anymore!
I hope it’s not too late
I hope that you can wait a few more hours
‘Til I get home

How am I supposed to get through?
While I’m here there’s not a lot I can do for you
How am I supposed to go on?
When the porch lights are all off and the shades are all drawn

It’s a seven minute drive from the mall to the condominium we share without traffic
But the tricky thing regarding that metric is that there’s literally always traffic
I’m carsick
I conjure up a primalesque scream from my seat
Narrowed in on the hitch of a Tacoma
So in the weeds with excuses that I don’t even notice
That I’m swerving ‘cross the lines in the road

I’m focused on the way that you punctuate your sentences
Not anymore!
I hope it’s not too late
I hope that you can wait a few more hours
‘Til I get home

Why’re these modern embraces so goddamn abrasive?
Modern abrasive, uh huh
Why’re these modern embraces so goddamn abrasive?
Modern abrasive, uh huh

Well, it’s not quite what you wanted
But all the I’s are dotted
Be a pain in the ass to return now that you got it
Oh, somehow you’ve forgotten
War is over if you want it
And it’s easy to see
Throw the caution tape up on it

The average human being lives for around 80 years.
80 years.
Chew on that.
Get back to me sometime.
