I try to keep it real,
But I’m tired of being strong.
I spent all my money
On fruit and coffee, then
I locked myself at home.
Oh, what a wonderful summer.
I sent postcards to my friends
And my favorite café,
The homeless dogs and cats,
And an enormous hole in the atmosphere.
See you another year.
Can you hear me, darling?
I’m just trying to make some sense,
But sometimes it’s too much,
I just can’t stand the pace.
I limit my living space
To the size of a living room.
I listen to Japanese ambient all day.
If there’s one thing in life
That may never end too soon,
Can it be this summer day?
Can you hear me, darling?
I’m just trying to make some sense,
But sometimes it’s too much,
I just can’t stand the pace.
And I don’t know who gets it right -
The meaning of life unfolds itself within,
While nobody’s watching.
I try to keep the faith,
But I’m tired of being strong.
I focus on a breath -
Is this a place where I belong?
I’m losing friends, I’m losing enemies.
Exhale extends,
But I don’t wanna lose you and me.
Can you hear me, darling?
I’m just trying to make some sense,
But sometimes it’s too much,
I just can’t stand the pace.
And I don’t know who gets it right -
The meaning of life unfolds itself within,
While nobody’s watching.
No, we don’t get it right,
The meaning of life
To-do-do-doo.
