Lyrics

Pay close attention to the margins of your life
That’s where most of the important stuff is happening
Someday they’ll probably get you, try as you might
Be it a technicality or a lack of fact-checking
They’ll throw you away
They don’t owe you a thing
They just hope you don’t say
What you know you’re thinking
So maybe they don’t deserve you, maybe no
Maybe they just want to hurt you--maybe, probably not though
So maybe they're out to get you, maybe no
OK so they just don’t get you--well now, maybe that’s so
They don’t say anything they just scribble their notes in the margins
They don’t wait for a signal, they wiggle their toes and get started
Prick up your ears when you see poor folk passing by
You’ll get valuable advice if you can understand
Don’t count the cracks in your rich uncle’s old glass eye
Focus on his grizzled visage and his sunburned hands
Cause they can hold up in the rain
They won’t melt in a volcano
And they’re holding up your brain
Like an overzealous halo
But he shoved them down the drain
And let the blades chew up his fingers
Cause he loved her, but he was insane
And yet his mind remained uninjured…
So maybe they can support you, maybe, yeah!
Or maybe it’s like throwing horseshoes, maybe, probably yeah!
A little bit of skill and a lot of wind resistance
Or maybe it just takes a few bad throws to go the distance but
Don’t shop at big box bookstores, find a first edition every time
Don’t stop living, you took your time at first and didn’t mess with mine
I need a lived-in copy, marked up like a history essay
Call me a nitpicker, I'm far from your original mistakes
