lyrics

we don’t talk when I drive my car
except when we play twenty questions
or argue about something stupid
like wrestling gimmicks
like our parents’ accents
like how I am incapable of taking a compliment
and then I turn on the radio
and it’s a sprite commercial

but how fun would it be to tell a funny story
where something falls out of the sky
or it could be about anything else
you can say anything you’d like

my filter won’t stop filtering
and I will not watch the new star wars
I will go to bed at a reasonable hour
and when the noise comes through my walls
and says I made the wrong decision
I won’t mind if you borrow my speakers
just please don’t make me pay to use your printer

because five cents a page adds up after a while
and I have to print my thesis
so I can scratch it all up and then print it all over
again and again and again and again

I don’t sleep because I have TV
and you are my friend and you entertain me
but sometimes we sit and it gets real quiet
like we aren’t comfortable enough for comfortable silence
I don’t get the reference
you don’t like my jokes
I don’t know if you had any pets growing up
I don’t know why you don’t like your home

you say it’s only weird when I bring it up
and I don’t know
but if you’re right I guess this takes care of that
