Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can see it in the way
That you are the painted flowers in the big parade
Flowers in the big parade
Deep inside your heart
Staring at the sky
Calling out the shapes clouds make as they pass by
[Verse 2]
And first they thank you by pulling out your tongue
Then you apologize for being where you're from
But I could hear the animals painted on the cave
[Verse 3]
And I was taking a page from my own mistakes
It was an empty book until I took a look
I was taking a page from all the time I spent
With a vanity that knows no end
[Verse 4]
The many unknown thrills, hard to translate
Time here all the time, elegant heart rate
She would look at her, non-linear
As she reaches in her pocket to find all of humankind
[Verse 5]
I'm in my Free Tibet shirt that's made in China
With evolution's last jumping off point behind you
But I've got an infinity of things left to refuse
And I was taking a page from Carole King
[Verse 6]
You're so far away, doesn't anybody stay?
I was taking a page from remembering
There's so many things right there under my skin
[Verse 7]
Wandering through a world neither of us understands
And when you think you just can't stand it
Zoom out and see the planet
[Verse 8]
'Cause love's a little like
Crowd surfing in an empty club
Oh, that's a little bit like
Something a lot like love
[Verse 9]
But things could really be much worse
At least there's a smiley face
Oh, but I can't take no more
Guitar solo or car chase
[Verse 10]
Words tend to mean the most in songs that are just music
Do you ever think that colors say
Hey, who's your favorite human?
But I was stranded in the place of my favorite details
[Verse 11]
And I was taking a page from my imaginary life
Where I'm a good housewife
Yeah, that sounds nice
I was taking a page from never feeling like
I was a girl or a guy
But I had to try
