Lyrics

It's so hard to explain what I would do to feel safe
To pick up a thread I could pull from where we are at the end
So I could take it from the top again
At some noon matinee
Someone's saving the day
And everything's perfect and pure from the plot to the punchlines
They're reflecting in my tired eyes
I could never belong
I can see from the shadow
I make when I pass the projector
My undisciplined lines making mess of design
I'm the shadow in the center
And I'm always waiting for a grand adventure
For a journey to complete me
Or to end with me back home
Then someone like me could actually be the hero
I've been swiping for love with my metronome thumbs
I wait for a swell in the score or a slow motion smile
But I'm worried it'll never come
And it's weird, but I talk to myself a whole lot
Making stories from nothing
Worlds where no one's alone
And I wish there was a way to go
I hate to fall on cliches, but what else do I know?
Beyond me
Always waiting for a grand adventure
For a journey to complete me
To end with me back home
Then someone like me could actually be the hero
So I think I might write to make sense of my life
Trim all the excess, leave only parts that I need
Get it all out in the table read
Make it simple and fun
Something people would love
An effortless classic
Quotable and meaningfully made
From the prologue to the end parade
It'll make sense this way
