lyrics

Feeling fat and ordinary
one of those days
when my words come out contrary
one of those days
when the world's too cold for rain
but it won't get the gumption to snow
it's a feeling I know

And my bus ride's quiet, empty
one of those days
but I'm not feeling friendly
so it's okay
and the houses rolling by
are too plastic, and dirty, the same
but I'm on my way to work
can't let it bother me

And the sunshine on the sidewalk
should melt this weight away
why do I see only cigarette butts
and exhaust through my window pane?
the scariest part of the flux of my feelings
the nebulous ebb and flow
is the low, low, low
'cause how do I know the tide will ever go?

At my stop, I throw out my fast food cup
though I know there's no 'away'
I can't stand how my world gets more complicated
the longer that I stay
twenty-one years spent here, breathing
but what more for me can I say?
What if it's not just one of those days?

I was supposed to save the world
one of those dreams
stop the cars, fill the streets up with gardens and trees
one of those dreams
but the older that I get
the more I let
them slip away
through strings, and weeks, of days

And the sunshine on the sidewalk
should lift my heart on high
so why do I see only more of the same
consuming my life line?
Yes, the scariest part of the flux of my feelings
the nebulous ebb and flow
is the low, low, low
'cause how do I know the tide will ever go?

'Cause how do I know the tide will ever go?
