Outside Cat

You let your mind wander and it never came back
You treat it like an outside cat
And all of the harm that you've done doesn't matter at all

You're born to pay bills and get mad at the time
Whether it's twelve o' clock or quarter to nine
Your phone is a chain that's tied to a stone in your room

And the thing that makes it hard for you
Is that no one seems to comfort you
No matter how hard they try
And it never seems to add up
It's never quite enough
No matter where it's from

So you want to spend your birthday alone
You tell all your friends and turn off your phone
And go eat a fancy meal all by yourself

You want to make art with no audience
But you can't take the loneliness
So you fell in love with the man that delivers your food

And the thing that makes it hard for you
Is that no one seems to comfort you
No matter how hard they try
And it never seems to add up
It's never quite enough
No matter where it's from

So if you think of something strange
Share what's on your page
We love to watch you go insane
Let us in your life
Say what's on your mind
Reach out for that feeling of fame
And when I wear my welcome out
I will float into the clouds
And circle halfway round the world

Well at the end of the race everyone ties
If you're up by an inch or down by a mile
I just hope you have a good time
