I'm coming, I'm leaving
I'm halfway through
Waiting on the baggage claim
In the afternoon
They like to keep it cold,
So very cold
I'm not used to this.
I found myself talking
in a different voice,
in a different timezone, too.
"Hello, how are you,"
It's simple, but it's true
I'm curious.
Red balloons and tail pipes
Float through my eyes
Like a circus in the lobby of skyscraper
Skating on marble floors
Holding elevator doors
Having conversations at the counter.
Let's borrow a phone book from a restaurant
Make this whole town a friendly neighbor
If I had to pay for fun
That's a natural fact.
Let's play basketball with the trashcans
Put a broken flower in my hand
Kiss off with someone
Make shadows on the sun
Sleep when you're tired,
Sleep when you're done.
