lyrics

In three words or a thousand the message still resonates ‘I don’t know’
So what do we do with these spring afternoons?
We could go out to dinner or sulk in our rooms
So the sun takes it’s leave so the night sky can breathe it’s sweet nothings to you and to me
While the skyscrapers faces make ebony silhouettes and royal red day starts to bloom
Is six in the morning too late to go home?
‘Cause sweet balmy Mondays awakened me so
Just go on ahead, we’ll talk after the show
Then we’ll know, oh we’ll know, we will know
A thought that escaped the opaque veil of ‘maybes’ returns: “make room”
‘Cause your expectations leave you at the station
All checking your wristwatch and tapping your shoe
‘Professional internship’ is the new overqualified without which I can do just fine
I’ll swallow my pride ‘cause I know that in time all the things that I wish I will do, I will do
There are problems in this world with solutions that are intelligible to me
Gone are the times when I could afford to seek forgiveness in what I can’t see
So hold on to your hat my friend
‘Cause if it falls off your brain will surely follow it
You’ll claim what peculiar direction you can
Options need not remain slim ‘cause we have a hand in making them
