first day of spring
wind's blowing cold
rocks in a pot somebody left on the stove
don't know what i'm doing here
i think if my dreams babe
i think about you
looking up at a sky
that doesn't ever go blue
don't know what i'm doing anymore
sun comes up on the bright lights
what's out there to see
gonna figure out
how i'm getting out
picture on the mirror
it's the one of you and me
was a guy on the bus
praying on his rosary
cigarettes next to the laptop
i'm staring outside
at the debris
that big old house
they tore up next to me
bills again piling up
she leaves the lights on
she slams the door
what the hell is she waiting for
gonna figure out
how to get her out
she got stuck
books about god
can they lead the way
to something they maybe knew yesterday
tough to figure out
police on the corner
doing the shuffle
i heard
scooter got hooked up in a scuffle
yeah i played it loud
i'm just
sitting her trying to finish this flick
waiting for that extra kick
i'm gonna figure out
how i'm getting out
cause i'm getting out
yes i'm getting out
i got stuck
just a little stuck
no big deal
