Telescope

I'll figure out tonight what it is I need to do
Fabricate a lie and relay it back to you
In my head, it's only letters
Make it make sense to make it better
Mm, mm, mm
It's a perfect time to put my money in my mouth
Chew it up and spit it directly on the ground
Make some plans I'll never get to
Shake some hands at the venue
Mm, mm, mm
Sittin' in a telescope
Silently, with his fingers entwined
He puts his hand to the glass
What's it like outside?
Mm (what's it like outside?)
(What's it like outside?)
Through the winds, it's dark, single-digit on the clock
Saying, yessiree, I sure like-a you a lot
All I need is to get her
She'll be happy if you let her
Mm, mm
Sittin' in a telescope
Silently, with his fingers entwined
He puts his hand to the glass
What's it like outside?
What's it like outside?
Ooh, what's it like outside?
