lyrics

Every silvery lining's a cloud in the making, and morning is breaking
I'm gone with the wind, I'm abandoning ship and all that
I'll split open my lips if I laugh

Declarations of disasters
Walking me backwards all over the map
I'm pacing the planet one leg at a time
While it turns at a rate that I don't recognize

And this is what I trade for sleep
A morning shaped by such bad dreams
That optimism can't compete
A Sisyphean strategy

I'm savoring the space between ideals and reality
I've written down all that can be written down
I'm a kangaroo cowboy and this is my town

So stroll right over, take my heart
And put it in your shopping cart
Customer service or nuclear science
I'm losing the threads of the stories we start

And this is what I trade for love
A hunger for the push and shove
And who does that remind you of
I'm sick of this, enough's enough

Every silvery lining's a cloud in the making, I'm tired of waiting
Tired of attempting and crash-course-correcting
Not so much defending as overprotecting

Happy endings in advance
It's greek to me, chance after chance
I'm riding the pendulum, forward-reverse

You bet it gets better
It also gets worse
