lyrics
looking behind all your cabinet doors
for ordinary flavors made our ancestors fight wars
not yet sure if you’re the kind
to have oregano and thyme
i haven’t seen you eat much
but i salute the sunrise feeling starved
a dull relentless pain that sits a mile below my heart
clocking in before the glare
rushes through the window where
i make dominion out of freedom
when i turn around
i see i’m losing ground
running backwards
you don’t look ahead
you’ll sleep when you are dead
i couldn’t be falling faster
daddy he sold hallmark advice
if you do what you love, you won’t work a day in your whole life
mom said “no matter what they earn
no man’s home enough to learn
the first thing about working”
but you don’t wanna talk like that tonight
you wanna hit the town and be dissolved in spinning lights
so i’m doing dishes while you put
another face over your first
tomorrow’s lurking
when i turn around
your t shirts on the ground
you still ask first
we won’t look ahead
and we’ll sleep when we are dead
and i couldn’t be falling faster
for ordinary flavors made our ancestors fight wars
not yet sure if you’re the kind
to have oregano and thyme
i haven’t seen you eat much
but i salute the sunrise feeling starved
a dull relentless pain that sits a mile below my heart
clocking in before the glare
rushes through the window where
i make dominion out of freedom
when i turn around
i see i’m losing ground
running backwards
you don’t look ahead
you’ll sleep when you are dead
i couldn’t be falling faster
daddy he sold hallmark advice
if you do what you love, you won’t work a day in your whole life
mom said “no matter what they earn
no man’s home enough to learn
the first thing about working”
but you don’t wanna talk like that tonight
you wanna hit the town and be dissolved in spinning lights
so i’m doing dishes while you put
another face over your first
tomorrow’s lurking
when i turn around
your t shirts on the ground
you still ask first
we won’t look ahead
and we’ll sleep when we are dead
and i couldn’t be falling faster
