There’s two guitars on the sofa, but we’re out in the yard That’s the story of the summer, working some and playing hard Grab the frisbee and the cell phone, getting dizzy by design Playing catch to catch the sunshine, talking trash to pass the time
About that little group of people in the baby pool of pride Taking turns at playing Neptune til the day our ship arrives Til we paint our masterpiece, until our masterpiece is sold We’ll light the lighthouse fire and stand tight to fight the cold
Giant leaps of heresy Or baby steps towards infamy All I know is what’s good for you Is good for you and me
Sometimes I think that you’re the ship and I’m the anchor chain And the anchor’s this belief I have that the sea ain’t worth a damn You say the drink is deep with treasure, but the party’s on the boat So let the mermaids flirt with mermaids til the barmaids all say no
You and I’ve been playing mirror, making pretty and making sure Making casas into su casas, so I wrote a song of yours I’ve owed you one for quite some time, but I’m borrowing one right now So we’ll say it’s fair and call it square, we’re both broke anyhow
A crossroads, but how to choose With nothing but our souls to lose All I know is what’s good for me Is good for me and you
So I’m sorry that it took so long to sit back down to write Well the lightning just struck the power lines, so it’s strangely calm tonight And I think I hear my heart beat, doing triplets kinda slow And I can hear the space that’s left in case you’re here to tap your toes
Lastly this goes back to you. How does it feel? Oh goodness grief It’s like my name’s been scrawled in fresh concrete, and finished in gold leaf And there’s a sparkle in my eyeball now, where the sunlight strikes the gold And I ain’t been feeling much these days, so that says a lot I s’pose
A radio that haws and hems The bullshit of the best of friends All I know is what’s good for us Is good enough for them
