october 13 Lyrics

Water falling through the roof

Water dripping underneath the floor

Water seeping into my boots

I wonder if the wind will blow us over

I wonder if we will learn to float

Today is the birthday of the worst person I have ever known

The branches are falling with the stars

The planets are going reverse but her car won't

I try to ask my tarot cards

They tell me that I already know

Lena let me down again

But I'm glad it was her here instead

Besides I've been growing fond of the world I've been building in my head

I dance quietly with your memory

Keep it to myself

I would try to call

But I don't have service where I am

And I wish I could send you a postcard

But I don't know your address now

And California is much bigger than Ohio

Originality is expensive but so is everything

A dream is just a dream because it hasn't happened yet

And I know the rain is watering flowers I will someday keep in jars around my room

But it's hard to remember May in October
