Lyrics
Alternative Plans
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stayin' up for days on end then sleeping long enough
Wasting all the cash on bets, we're so disorganized
Making up all our own rules and happy for a while
Failing all the time, no matter how it's justified
Dreaming of the day we had some alternative plans
Like holding hands and staring up and counting little stars
Smart enough to know it's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, i never meant to be like this
Charging all around the town and losing all the games
Breaking up the rules we made, we are so unsocialized
Cheating on the brain, we have no answers of our own
Faking all the time, no matter what our hearts desire
Dreaming of the day we had some alternative plans
Like holding hands and staring up and counting little stars
Smart enough to know it's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, i never meant to be like this
It's always in the cartoons
Nobody really understands me
My heart is made of cardboard
I never thought you'd go away
Stayin' up for days on end then sleeping long enough
Wasting all the cash on bets, we're so disorganized
Cheating on the brain we have no answers of our own
Faking all the time, no matter what our hearts desire
Dreaming of the day we had some alternative plans
Like holding hands and staring up and counting little stars
Smart enough to know it's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, i never meant to be like this
I'm sorry, i never meant to be like this
