Rotary Phone

What in the world do we call this?
It's the little seemingly innocent things that I think we're gonna miss.
You're a lot more confident than you have been when you're listening to that same song over and over again.
Admittedly, you don't ask for much but the way they lick and then bite is starting to feel a little rough.
Such a nice rotary phone you've got there.
It's a shame that it never rings but we don't just give out the number anywhere.
Just as much a modern pain as anything that I have been airing my laundry out in the rain.
A hole in the plot.
A missing something somewhere.
Comparing to someone else in nightmares we dare.
What in the world do we call this?
In my lifetime I can't recall calling so much bullshit.

Quite The Ark

Calling out quietly into the dawn for something that will never be.
Last night the burn's bank burst and all of the cows have gone swimming.
Each new nights sleep is like a little death.
An innocent ending to the day in your head.
Wake me up just for the county fair.
When the birds feel the chill and start heading elsewhere.
Just how big is this boat that we're all supposedly in?
That's quite the ark metaphor.
Much more likely to find me anywhere, over there, in the background somewhere.
Each new nights sleep is like a little death.
An innocent ending to the day in your head.
Wake me up just for the county fair.
When the birds feel the chill and start heading elsewhere.
Batten down the hatches for the months ahead.
Theres plenty of wood and supplies we've kept.
Wake me up just for the county fair.
When the birds feel the chill and start heading elsewhere.

The blockade washed away on the crest of a record tidal wave.
Were you there when the worst of men tried to ruin almost everything?
You can't just leave it up to luck.
Public opinion in action.
An old time.
An old song.
The young folk are making right of wrong.
The hopeless may want to look away.
They'll keep winning as long as we let them stay.
You can't just leave it up to luck.
Public opinion in action.
Come on it could be now or never done.
Which side of history are you on?

Underneath Her

Come on in out of the cold.
Lay down here just don't sleep to close to the fire.
Are you wondering why the cat sits with all of its feet hidden underneath her?
I am grateful that you share everything with me except this blanket on the couch.
Remembering when we moved in.
Mattress on the floor.
Cut my hand trying to make the bed.
The smell of the morning.
The sound of your yawn as you wake when I'm in the shower.
You always choose that coffee cup.
Not sure if I'm indecisive or just like to switch it up.
There's nothing worse as far as I am concerned than stepping in a pool of water after putting clean socks on.
