lyrics

i wish i saved up for rainy days,
cause they're the hardest to be dry.
i got no self-control;
i'm always begging into telephones.

i bought a little from my brother's friend;
well, just to get me by.
i don't
trust his cut.
the effect's never as high as the markup.

i think i'll print it in the personals
that i'm looking for a match.
someone to light me up;
someone to burn the proof of the things that i've done.

each day there are hours
i skip like a stone;
i just
crawl in a bag;
i'm gonna live my life like somebody's shadow.

i know i'm lazy with the little things;
i mean i never held a door.
but i still loved you more.
than anyone since or before.

you're always saying that i owe you one;
well let's consolidate this debt.
get on a payment plan;
i'll pay you compliments, you can still treat me bad.

but now it's easy, getting easier
to leave you and this town behind.
i'll do some
travelling.
once i'm gone tell all our friends you got even.

i'm held like an object.
and then set aside.
and i'm back
on the shelf;
locked in the drawer;
i'm mint in the box but you'd still
you'd sell me for cost, wouldn't you?

(i'll be anything)
the cord of a parachute.
(i'll be anything)
the blanket on top of you.
(i'll be anything)
the window you're looking through.
(i'll be anything)
the cord of a parachute.
the cord of a parachute.
