lyrics

My sister says she'd never move to the city
She doesn't understand how anyone could ever live there
And I've been talking about moving
for longer than I can remember or really care to share
And 3 years with the same "shtick" is getting trite and suspicious
Maybe I'm listless? I'm starting to think this
whole spinning in circles is weighing on the wheels of my computer chair

And friends have had things somewhat come together
in places like Savannah, GA or Austin
Well, maybe Bill is right -
I'm just "a southern bird who stayed north too long"
And this forced self-awareness and faux-vulnerability
isn't attractive as it was at 23 or 22
I'm starting to second guess each one of my actions
right down to tying my shoe

Hey kid, what are you gonna do
when you can't eschew finishing your plans anymore?
Hey Jake, what are you gonna say
when you can't complain about the situation you've chosen for yourself?

I had my fair share of cares and don't cares last year:
dated an au pair
traveled to Europe
decided I wanted to carry every single one of my overwrought thoughts over there
The people I enjoy become more rare
I don't like making eye contact
I just prefer to stare
I told myself when I figured it all out that I'd shave off all my hair
I still have a beard

Hey kid, what are you gonna do
when you can't eschew finishing your plans anymore?
Hey Jake, what are you gonna say
when you can't complain about the situation you've chosen for yourself?

I think I just want my own talk show (x2)
I talk "I just want my own think show"
I talk…(repeat ad nauseam)

I romanticize meeting my demise overseas
away from my home country
Shroud me in Asian linens and bury me in African soil
I toy with the notion of fading out in obscurity
but I've got to peak before then
The dusty spindles on the wheels of my computer chair
have built up more of a following

Hey kid, what are you gonna do
when you can't eschew finishing your "art" anymore?
Hey Jake, what are you gonna say
when you can't complain about the situation you've chosen for yourself?

I'll just keep driving and driving (x2)
I'll just keep riding and riding
I'll ride it out 'til something...
