Elegy for the Floor

Hey thanks for driving me
The nerves are a little better now
I can't believe we made it here
I can't believe the crowd

I guess I'm just so happy
To finally go
Can you ask if I'm excited
Can you tell that I don't know

Mental gymnastics gets easy sometimes
When you trash the apartment and close the blinds
Or just hold in the door for the person behind you
Because God knows they won't be the same when you come back home

But that's not the good part
No, that doesn't come yet
I've seen these constellations before
Just reaching out and begging that we'd try a bit more but

It's all okay
We're all afraid
That's a pretty big star out there
Do you think we'll make it out far enough to touch it

It's all okay
We feel the same
That's a pretty big star out there
It's so pretty when you stop being scared

I know exactly what I'm doing
And I know exactly what to prove
There's monsters gone unmapped out there
And we've got nothing else to do

Wish me luck, give me something for the ride
And I'll ditch the friends in the back of my mind
Tell me I know what I've gotta do
And maybe I'll believe it, and maybe so can you, because

It's all okay
We feel the same
Those are pretty big stars out there
Do you think we'll make it out far enough to touch it

It's all okay
I feel the same
Those are pretty big stars out there
It's so beautiful when you stop being scared

There was a stranger in my bed
And he was trying to kill me
I need someone to say
It's all okay

Like Hey
I don't remember my name
But I think I understand that's not as important as
Understanding the tides of the giants we orbit

I'll do what you want
And I'll do what you say (It's all okay)
What if this life is just okay (We feel the same)
Will we die at the hands of the Gods that we have paid for

I'll do what you want
And I'll do what you say (Those are pretty big stars out there)
I think I understand
I'll never see (do you think we'll make it out)
The future I was made for (far enough to touch it)

We cried when it was over
And we'll die before we start it again
Am I sorry I missed your party in October

They'll laugh when it's all over
And they'll try our best to start it again
I think I'm glad that I was doomed to get older

It's all okay
We feel the same
Those are pretty big stars out there
Do you think we'll make it out far enough to touch it

It's all okay
I feel the same
The world looks much smaller somehow
I know that's what everyone says
But I don't feel like a part of everyone now
