lyrics

I’m not that religious about things
I mean I am not religious at all
But I know better than to look past the little wants
The moments I find words
The old man at the party said take good care of her
But it’s the 21st century, she can take good care for sure
Am I the selfish one?
I no longer need to know that I’m being good


I was standing on the train car
A guy walked in through the door
He sat and I thought I saw his hand slide to comfort the arm of his neighbor
Do they even know each other?
Is this such a rare sight?
Til I noticed it was her left arm just resting on her right
Oh, I comfort myself too
I no longer need to know that I’m being good


Dad said when you’re settled call me up
When I got on the bus I called him up
He said Grandma had another stroke she cannot speak right now
She probably won’t die but she could, death is abrupt


You always said it’s sad but it’s okay
Said death is a big deal but it’s okay
After the first stroke five years ago she was no longer herself
So half the sadness is behind us anyways


Well I felt something, but I felt nothing too
Sat on the bus just watching Bojack, it’s my third time going through
I’m sad but more stressed out, logistics win without a doubt
Has the web age made a mannequin of you?


I thought of my friends and if one of them should pass
That kind of tragedy would really kick my ass
A speeding car would end our good times playing lawn games and free jazz
Grandma would beat us all at Scrabble, I felt emotional at last


Dad thought that maybe I could write a song about
The processing of grief and fear, indifference and doubt
And that seems forced to me but at the same time I know better
Than to look past times when words come tumbling out


The little wants


I’m not that religious about things
I mean I am not religious at all
But I know better than to look past the little wants
The moments I find words
Imagine me a car crash, imagine me alone
At the party, on the train car, on the bus ride heading home
Do you make it up too?
I no longer need to know that I’m being good
