Diminishing Returns

Everyone agrees, we are concerned

One place underwater, another burns

No one is surprised, but everybody's shocked

With diminishing returns

Worn out shoes from pacing 'round the room

The hashtag used is universal doom

Fished up all the fishes, and wishing for more wishes

With diminishing returns

You could say the walls are caving in

That the waves will come

And wash away these castles made of sand

Doesn't change the way I feel

'Cause what's real, is you and me in the afternoon

Just your love in the afternoon

Don't presume to know what is in store

Or just how many wolves are at the door

But I have seen your body bending

With the morning light ascending

And I will die defending our diminishing returns

Oh, you could say the walls are caving in

That the waves will come

And wash away these castles made of sand

Doesn't change the way I feel

'Cause what's real is you and me in the afternoon

Just your love in the afternoon

Even just the thought of you

Well, I love you in the afternoon
