We could tie our strings together
If it helps to make it through the night
We could try to run away forever
But we should do what we know is right

You can shake me around like a basket
Make it sound like a difficult task
Or you can take me down to the dry lands
All safe and sound and silent

Camouflage jacket on a hook on the wall
Wet moth in the bathroom stall
Carried outside on a flashcard of jellyfish facts

There are songs if we wanna sing a little
Got a table full of fresh picked fruit
But the pear's got blight in the middle
You know a parasite's gotta eat too

We can handle all our own decisions
We can live with the things we do
But when I get a polaroid of the vision
It's gonna snap me right in two

Costume jewelry in the top drawer
Paintings I left taped to the door
Bookshelf in the corner with a binder full of jellyfish facts

I hear the days are gonna get longer
I gotta hope that's true
Darker shadows mean the light's getting stronger
I think I'm getting stronger too
I'm' gonna get stronger too

Setting up your sails but the wind's too slow
Ideas too big for your TV show
But you gotta put the money where your mouth won't go
And God's not a fan of gambling.

You can dedicate yourself to the kingdom
You can put a lot of weight on a dream
'Till you're sitting all alone in a courtroom
Taking one for the team

Chapel on the hill where the light shines far
Looks like a turtle but it's gotta be a star
Burning down the theatre in the name of your jellyfish facts
