Cosmos & Taxis

In the early morning, with the sunlight on your face

Climbing over all the hardware, packing shirts into a suitcase

Can never shake the feeling

Every time you go away

Sure, I think of marriage

I think I think I'm naive

I write out a list of all the stupid bullshit that I won't believe

Like I'll prove that I'm a cynic

Prove that I could be

Someone of use to you

He said that it's simple

Well, maybe I'm making it hard

I drank so much that New Year's that I blacked out in her yard

But my baby's gonna save me

Gonna tell me that I'm smart

And I'll believe it

I will

I'll believe it, then you'll go in for the kill

But all roads led to Rome

I was fighting every impulse that I had to stay alone

You were changing, and I hated never being in the know

Citing "Cosmos and Taxis" all the way home

You'll try economics, say "I don't think it's for me"

You'll try film, or you'll try poli sci,

You'll try a liberal arts degree

You'll try staring at your wall until you swear that you can see

Some kind of place for you

You'll keep getting older,

You won't try but you'll succeed,

You'll think back on every time you let in love he made you think you need

Sometimes you'll think you miss him,

You just miss seventeen

When the world made a little sense

And all roads led to Rome

You were fighting every impulse that you had to stay alone

You were changing, and you hated never being in the know

Citing "Cosmos and Taxis" all the way home

You read "Cosmos and Taxis" all the way home
