LYRICS
tap the heart
until i hate myself
hit the square 
and rearrange myself 
i don’t like it what it does to me
never makes me want to laugh 
or sing

do you think
about the trees
in the breeze
how they swing
and scream and talk 
and breathe 
i wish i was so tall
and green
swing my branches 
only sing for me

talk to strangers 
like we already met 
even though it hasn’t happened yet
will i be found 
if i’m never met
did the chicken 
come before the egg

i love the people 
playing songs in the park
guitar for babies 
instead of people in the bars
do you think they know 
how good they are 
i think they do they got kids
singing like larks 
they go 

stopped watching movies 
that make me feel 
and you said trash tv
is the best meal
and i reply well none of it’s real
you said i know and i think that’s ideal
but sometimes don’t you wanna 
hit to the heart 
he said he only wondered 
who would play his part 

always wondering about my health 
always wondering if i’ll go to hell
should take some vitamins 
i don’t know what to take
and i should sleep more 
but i’m always wide awake 

i’m not a tree 
i’m in a forest of buildings
i’m not a singer 
i’m just someone 
who’s guilty 
remind me that i don’t have to be anything
remind me that i don’t have to be anything 

i look for signs on the faces of the buildings 
i look for signs on your face of us ending
