I was flipping through my thoughts and I had a few
That were shaped like
They were shaped like you
And there were slivers that I just couldn’t conceal
Painted by colors of the way you made me feel
I was perplexed by the ways that we had always acted
And enveloped by the oxygen
And I was distracted
By the bugs crawling on the ground
And people walking by
Acting like everything is normal
And nothing ever happens to them
Oh Noooooo
I wish that something would just happen to them
And I spent some time Lying on the floor
Pretending I was smaller than the smallest thing you’d ever seen before
Smaller than a piece of dust
But not quite microscopic
Having trouble keeping still
And staying on topic
‘Cause of bugs crawling on the ground
And people walking by
Acting like everything is normal
And nothing ever happens to them
Oh Noooooo
I wish that something would just happen to them
There was that time that you stopped by
To play a tune and have a drink
And there was something in your eye
And you threw me a wink
And for a sec I couldn’t tell if I was floating or a sinking
And sometimes I wish that somebody
Was watching what I think
I think I think too much about what people think that I am thinking
And the music gets a loud and people start a-drinking
And I lose my sense of time and my breath falls out of sync
‘Cause nobody could ever be watching what you think
I think that I am all alone
In the only body that I own
I think that I am all alone
In the only body that I know
I kept track of all the flaws
Yes, I tried to count them all
But there was something beautiful in every ugly thing I saw
Ugly feelings in your eye
And ugly people walking by
Acting like everything is normal
And nothing ever happens to them
Oh Nooooo
I wish that something would just happen to them
