LEFTOVERS

LEFTOVERS

I THINK I'M LOSING MY PHILOSOPHY
ANYTHING'S A GOOD START
I TOOK YOUR PICTURE OFF THE FRIDGE
BUT I KEEP IT IN THE CAR
BECAUSE THE SYSTEMS THAT ARE GUIDING ME GET LOST
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE WE ARE

JUST WHEN EVERYTHING SEEMS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
SUDDENLY IT FALLS APART
AND I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY TO THE LIGHT
OR KEEP THEM OPEN LONG ENOUGH TO SEE IN THE DARK

LAST NIGHT I SAW MY OLD MAN IN A DREAM
HE TOLD ME THAT I AM THE OLDEST I HAVE EVER BEEN
I ASKED HIM, "WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"
I BECOME HIM THE MORE I FIND MYSELF, IT SEEMS
ALL EGGSHELLS EVENTUALLY BREAK
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT BETTER NOW WITH EVERY STEP I TAKE

QUIET AS MY DINNERS HAVE BEEN, IT'S GOOD
NO ONE TO CRITICIZE THE FOOD
BE THAT AS IT MAY
IT SEEMS EACH RECIPE YIELDS ENOUGH FOR TWO
I GUESS THE LEFTOVERS WILL LAST ANOTHER DAY
IT'S SO STRANGE WITH YOU AWAY
