Doing Okay

Grocery shopping with my mom
She picks up a Snickers bar at checkout
And it takes me back to when I'd bring you one
Every month with some green tea.
You said the chocolate is probably bad for the cramps
but you always ate it anyway, no hesitation.
I think, oftentimes, what's great for the soul ain't too good for the body
Like loud music damaging my ear drums.
I wonder if Pete Townshend regrets cranking it up.
I've never been much of a Who fan honestly.
I think I'd probably opt out if I ever went deaf.
I know no theory and can't read notation.
I could never be on my Beethoven shit.
Maybe that came off as a bit self righteous earlier,
my mention of the period tea.
Maybe we all just wanna view ourselves as the heroes in our own stories
But I know I deserved better
I know this
You know this
I'm doing okay
I'm doing okay
I'm doing okay
I'm doing okay

Simply Put

She said, "Do you love me?"
Well, is the sky blue?
Do your teeth chew?
Does it feel good to have new shoes?
Does Ric Flair say woo?
To put it quite simply yes i do
I'm not trying to say anything profound
I just like the way music sounds a bit better when you're around
The air feels sweeter on my skin
Fruit takes longer to brown
To put it quite simply, to you I'm bound

FaceTime Routine

These days are long and similar
so I've been living on a hope for tomorrow.
I'll call you up and I'll ask about your day
You still got that shirt I let you borrow.
And I'll drift off to sleep and have a dream about fucking you
I'll drift off to sleep and have a dream about fucking you
I'll drift off to sleep and have a dream about fucking you
I'll drift off to sleep and have a dream about fucking you
Ran out of gas on the way to work
A new day, a new story to tell.
What was that song you said you thought I'd like?
You said your project's due on the twelfth.
And I'll drift off to sleep and have a dream about fucking you
I'll drift off to sleep and have a dream about fucking you
I'll drift off to sleep and have a dream about fucking you
I'll drift off to sleep and have a dream about fucking you

Still Your Fool

Don't think about it too much
You'll just get upset again.
And I can't help but feeling that we were better off as just friends.
And I've never felt so full or so free
and this sustained contentment just eludes me.
I know I'll never be this close again.
Call me crazy, you can call me a fraud.
You can tell me all about the good things I'm not
Oh baby, you know I'm still your fool.
Time lost in the sheets of your bed
is still so much better than time lost in my head.
Oh baby, you know I'm still your fool
I don't know what that word means anymore
You tell me you love me and still I'm left feeling sore
Call me crazy, you can call me a fraud.
You can tell me all about the good things I'm not
Oh baby, you know I'm still your fool.
Time lost in the sheets of your bed
is still so much better than time lost in my head.
Oh baby, you know I'm still your fool

Go 'head and start the car,
I'll be out in just a minute.
I've got a quick pep talk to give myself in the mirror.
I'd like to think that things happen for a reason,
but I just can't convince myself that it's true.
An elegy for a girl I never really knew.
A ray of sunshine, that's how she was described.
Always humble, took her setbacks in stride.
We had a few conversations and she complimented my clothes.
Now that she's gone we got many feeling oh so blue,
so I wrote this elegy for a girl I never really knew.
An elegy for a girl I never really knew.
