lyrics
you were raised in a school until you woke up to the lost dream
and you can’t remember anything
do you want a plug? b/c i suppose you are machine now
do you want a heart b/c it’s what you’re told?
remember and for what it’s worth i’d sell you anything
and all you have to do is spell the word
but you wanted love until you found out what that means
and that information can’t be sold
so now, are you always going to talk to them
like they can’t understand a word you say?
finally the penny and the ball hit the sidewalk today
and it’s time to say goodbye to coastal dreams that everybody knows
just let the ocean overflow
you try to pass that feeling with some laughter and some hope but no
what to do here? we don’t know
head’s out of the water but you felt the air was cold
you try to dip back down but the lake froze
so now you’re stuck with something that no one should ever know
killing time in the snow
now don’t outdo yourself and you’ll stand out from the herd
and don’t believe a single word they say
you must be true or your voice will go unheard
and you can’t remember anything
do you want a plug? b/c i suppose you are machine now
do you want a heart b/c it’s what you’re told?
remember and for what it’s worth i’d sell you anything
and all you have to do is spell the word
but you wanted love until you found out what that means
and that information can’t be sold
so now, are you always going to talk to them
like they can’t understand a word you say?
finally the penny and the ball hit the sidewalk today
and it’s time to say goodbye to coastal dreams that everybody knows
just let the ocean overflow
you try to pass that feeling with some laughter and some hope but no
what to do here? we don’t know
head’s out of the water but you felt the air was cold
you try to dip back down but the lake froze
so now you’re stuck with something that no one should ever know
killing time in the snow
now don’t outdo yourself and you’ll stand out from the herd
and don’t believe a single word they say
you must be true or your voice will go unheard
