lyrics

I guess it's daunting
Not knowing which house you'll be haunting,
But that still won't excuse
The shabby ruse
That you are courting.
You say "it's not for us,
This normal life, this verse and chorus."
But you don't want to sleep on the fly-tipped mattress in the forest.

It's exhaustion from the dread and the pain
Where every single day is the same
Insurmountable odds again
It's the dread that's completely mundane.

I'll give you credit
You would regret it once you'd said it
But we can't fix it in post-production or leave it off the edit.
It's frustrating
A life of constant hesitating
But the plane to Tahiti could be hijacked while you're still waiting.

It's the little things that give you hope,
It's the knot tied at the end of the rope,
But like Anna at the front of the train,
You have to make the leap to make the change.
