Onward! -

Baby, I’m doing my best to avoid the rabbit hole

But it’s a relief when I can’t see the sun

Maybe I’m not an instrument

Flatter the birds till they make the perfect sound

Think I’m more like an influence

Brought up through the crowd now

I’m taking a straight line and getting ahead

There’s something strange about it

I’m taking a straight line and getting ahead of the crowd

Feel like I’m losing my edge

Yeah, I know that’s comical

Got a head full of weeds

Light enough to try my luck

I don’t think you’re into this love

Keep my back to the wind, moving onward, up, and around

I’m taking a straight line and getting ahead

There’s something strange about this

I’m taking a straight line and getting ahead of the crowd

I’m taking a straight line, and getting ahead

Follow me out now, I think I can win

There’s something strange about this

Maybe it’ll make more sense if I know the animal

Walk with the beast and when I take it on the chin

I’ll take it like a compliment

Fly with the birds till I feel good and done

I’m more like a cymbal hit

Used up, keeping my head down

Finally keeping up with some friends

Not making up new ways to fuck with their heads

Facing oblivious-like at the stars, well

Feel like I’m coming around, oh whatever it’s possible

When I’m forty and lean, will I understate my luck

Or use you to prop me up?

Pretty feels keen but man this gig is tough

Watching birds circle around all this little stuff

Don’t wanna walk home to find you in bed

Follow me out now, I think I can win

I wanna get outta here, figure out how everyone lives

(How everyone lives)

What am I supposed to do?

Tell me why I don’t wanna feel better

I wanna feel brand new

I wanna feel so brand new

Take to this nicely

The sun surprised me

I was talking to all the windows and you were carrying my coat

I’m feeling lucky

That everything bothers me

When you pull up and skip Blue Rodeo

I know that good things come and go

Yeah, ain’t it something

Knowing everyone’s still around me

Not just headed home

Baby, I’m not an instrument

Just waiting for something to move

So I can think again

Trying my best not to understand the infinite

Or the anxious way we talk in it

Yeah, I’m barely an influence

I don’t understand the movements

But I’m pretty okay when I’m with you

(Take to this nicely)

(The sun surprised me)

(Now I’m carrying my coat)

(And feeling lucky)

(Not every thing’s haunting me)

(No minding lovestruck Romeo)

(I know that good things come and go)

(Well, ain’t it something)

Knowing everyone’s still around me

Not just headed home
