Miles to Go

I'm gonna dig a hole to Los Angeles from New York
I will escape this east coast winter for the warmth
And those were nice ideas in the roaring 20s
But now I'm pushing daisies
Suffocated by the 30s
It's only getting worse
And we're all getting older
Getting older

The ice caps are melting
And the bees are disappearing
The polar bears are dying
Sometimes I wonder why we're even trying
It's grazing through my mind
We're running out of time
I just want to fall in love more

I always said I'd rather be poor than
Unhappy and that's still true
But everywhere I look
Some reminder of the things I can't afford to do
Gotta make enough money so that I can retire
Gotta drink enough water so I can perspire
Some days I can barely fucking brush my teeth
I haven't changed my clothes in a week

'Cause the ice caps are melting and
The bees are disappearing
The polar bears are dying
Sometimes I wonder why we're even trying
It's grazing through my mind
We're running out of time
I just want to fall in love more

The world is on fire
And the president's a liar
There's plastic in the pacific
That will never expire
So what the fuck am I supposed to do
When I can barely get out of bed?
There's already so much hell in my head
I'm already filled with such due

The pain is on fire
It all feels so hopeless
But all I can do
Is love you with all my soul

But the ice caps are melting and
The bees are disappearing
The polar bears are dying
Sometimes I wonder why we're even trying
It's grazing through my mind
We're running out of time
I just want to fall in love more

The wounds are lovely, dark, and deep
But I've got promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
