Hi, How Are You?

You call me on the phone and say
"Hi, how are you?" I said, "Good morning"
The world is filled with funny stuff like that
How could you ever say it's boring?
If you would take more than
20 Steps at a time, you'd be exploring
You understand the beauty
All you've really gotta do is stop ignoring
You call me up; how are you?

"Hi, how are you?"
You call me on the phone and say, "Hi, how are you?"
I said, "Hi, how are you?"
"Hi, how are you?"
I couldn't find the words to say but my mouth said them anyway
"Hi, how are you?"
I can't believe that I am doing just fine

Everything I wanna say is just
Because I can't stop it from forming
It never seems like
An appropriate time for horror stories
About how the deck has become
52 Piles stuck to the flooring
So I'm distracting myself from the facts
By remarking on the morning
By the way, how's your day?

"Hi, how are you?"
I actually found the words but chose that they were for the birds
"Hi, how are you?"
"Hi, how are you?"
I can't ignore the irony when you say it right back to me
"Hi, how are you?"

And I believe that we all tend to
Be too nice sometimes
Making fortresses from forces that might
Shatter all our minds
And I believe that we all tend to
Be too nice sometimes
Making fortresses from forces that might
Shatter minds

I promise you I'll make it out just fine
