Boring Thing
Nile swims in waters clear
Can't find the surface in here
He can hold his breath all night
He keeps his head up
His eyes shut tight
Standing on a crowded tube
Escape can't come too soon
Sleepless hard work afternoon
Should have followed another avenue
Steel and glass
Pearls among the kelp as you swim past
Pressure to push on your palms
Open at last
Same old view
The city parks have scratty flowers too
Let a tireder eye catch the glimmer
As they phosphoresce
Early evening
You know I can't stop you leaving
But that's such a boring thing to do
That's your bus home
Come on, we could catch the unknown
And the world could be so kind to you
Loads you're lifting
I don't think that we're so different
Got a hint of what you're going through
Call me greedy
But look I don't make friends easy
I could sure use one like you
Lilac lives life on the beach
The water just out of reach
Everything is ankle deep
She always wondered
If she could make the leap
Nothing like an empty room
She sits in silence and gloom
Music playing down the hall
She locks the back door
And runs from it all
Square of grass
Treasure in the rockpools as you pass
Sifting the sand through the cracks
Barefoot at last
Same old view
A sky that's fly-by cherry blossom blue
As you're smelling the salt on a calm breeze
From a distant sea
Early evening
You know I can't stop you leaving
But that's such a boring thing to do
That's your bus home
Come on, we could catch the unknown
And the world could be so kind to you
Loads you're lifting
I don't think that we're so different
Got a hint of what you're going through
Call me greedy
But look I don't make friends easy
I could sure use one like you
Early evening
You know I can't stop you leaving
But that's such a boring thing to do
That's your bus home
Come on, we could catch the unknown
And the world could be so kind to you
Loads you're lifting
I don't think that we're so different
Got a hint of what you're going through
Call me greedy
But look I don't make friends easy
I could sure use one like you
Can't find the surface in here
He can hold his breath all night
He keeps his head up
His eyes shut tight
Standing on a crowded tube
Escape can't come too soon
Sleepless hard work afternoon
Should have followed another avenue

Pearls among the kelp as you swim past
Pressure to push on your palms
