Separate Lyrics

Quite a trait

I can explain away

Extraordinary claims

Give me a few days

I'll get back to you

With a point of view

That belongs to someone else

But at least it's new

Surely you're joking

Assuming you're not

What have you been on

Can you get me some

Enter stage left

What are the odds that we met

At the end of all things

As I empty my desk

Absent-minded professor

Sketching threats into the overhead projector

Growing more lethargic by the hour

You're not a terrorist, you're a coward

On a tangent

But can't rent

Without a cosign

Leaves moving like waves

Brushing up against the shoreline

Not separate from the world

We are of it

Not separate from the world

We are of it

Unexpected turns lead away

And we love it

What was hectic and terrible

Is now funny

Caught up in the springs of the trampoline

Launched into a rose bush

I was a baritone, now a tenor

All I needed was a push

Backflip off a swing

Backwards down a slide

Headfirst out the shopping cart

Motorcycle boy

Ran the stop sign

And went towards the light

They keep their sprinklers on

While it's raining

What's the point in complaining

Growing apart is painful

But it's happened all before

Distorted declarations

Yelled out from afar

If we can't pay the rent

We'll just make songs in your car

Rows of empty houses

Disappearing as we pass

I'd rather be starve than go back

Not separate from the world

We are of it

Not separate from the world

We are of it

Unexpected turns lead away

And we love it

What was hectic and terrible

Is now funny
