If my life had a soundtrack

it would be acoustic

With songs about the way I laugh at my ability to love things

that I can't have

If my life were a movie It would be black and white with still-frames in color and hue

The credits would say a simple phrase,

like "You aren't what you say or what you do, so don't worry so much,

just get on with a life that you love"

I had a good day Since I didn't die or have to wait

In any really long lines at the store

Me I like to make music You just like to make war There's a calico kitten prancing across a rooftop Smiling at the grey withered sky He's watching all the cars as they pass by Their blinkers go click click click This new height makes him homesick He misses his mother the most And his long days by the window They're long long gone If you're alright, then I'm alright If you're alright, then I'm alright It feels good to be alive again So good to see the sky again
