Venture

How far will candy take me? What if the movies make me? How come I still feel lost at home? The joy of little things Coffee cups and ukulele strings Why do I lean on things I own? Imagination gets me by, it always has, does, could Friends, foes, partners being real, would that even be good? I'm always up for making drastic changes just for fun And still I feel my chances slip from slight to slim to none Every time I think I'll try The venture always ends with Why (why, why) And then I cry And when my eyes dry I'll start back at the beginning and I'll think "maybe I'll try." I keep my eye out for a way To stop this spiral in its tracks today I'm tired of the ride If love means pain then maybe I Don't want it anyway I don't think I'd take heartbreak in stride Imagination gets me by, it always has, does, could Friends, foes, partners being real, would that even be good? I'm always up for making drastic changes just for fun And still I feel my chances slip from slight to slim to none Every time I think I'll try The venture always ends with Why (why, why) Mmm, mmm, mmm I need instructions I need to wake up Maybe I should just be wearing more makeup (wearing more makeup) Does it take hours (hours) Days months years (days months years) To call someone a friend, I fear I've been defining relationships all wrong Imagination gets me by, it always has, does, could Friends, foes, partners being real, would that even be good? I'm always up for making drastic changes just for fun And still I feel my chances slip from slight to slim to none If I want to feel the world, why can't I get out of bed? Maybe I am better off in my head (head, head) Mmm, mmm, mmm Mmmm
