lyrics

I got high and walked to work alone
The other day last week
And if my minimum wage paid me more
I'd probably stay clean
And if I had a million bucks
I'd pay two million for some sleep
I've been busier than a man
Who's been too busy to hardly breathe
And my father lives a short drive
From the town where he grew up
And my mother moved six states away
From the home that she once loved
And I haven't spoke to my grandma
In at least a couple years
Well my family's kind of fucked
Aren't we all to some degree

Can you hear the static when you sleep
Can you feel the world turn three hundred and sixty degrees
Cause I've been stagnant for so long
Now I'm moving forward like I should be

Well I read as you slept in
In the morning I felt you breathing
And you clutched my arm tight
Like a girl who was afraid of dreaming
And you jolted wide awake
said, "I had a dream that I was fallin'
Oh thank god for waking up
My fail safe mode of transportation"
And I never meant no harm
To all the friends that I've fucked over
I'm oblivious my head is full of useless information
And my sister lost her job
She's living out in Brooklyn
She says growing up means rent and bills and hating lots of moments
Every journalist I've known
Has been less optimistic than me
When the news is such a bummer
How the fuck can you not be
