Hey Life!
I’ve got an Ok Go CD on repeat
I can play the keyboard from the front seat
who cares if it’s not corked in
i pressed the power on
I hear the echo
He can sketch anything in a few strokes
I want to draw conclusions
this time’s taking more than most
toss me those lemons?
those ones people say cheesy, insightful things about?
That would be nice...
thanks
You really are a great friend, Life
you aren’t perfect, but I love you anyway
