I like the way that you wake up
You’re like the summer in my cup
You float around clutching your crooked spine
I like the mood you put me in
It nestles gently on my chin
I feel obliterated all the time
The light is flashing on the message machine
Why do I own one of them? It’s 2017
I’m in a panic but it’s only a dream
And when you swing into view it becomes too hard to scream
I like the writing on the wall
That gives the chips a place to fall
And I beam proudly at it, satisfied
I like this convoluted mess
The sound when my head meets my desk
And how you pick up all the shards I’ve tried
You’re gonna do whatever you want
And whatever you want is what I want
