If I could save time in a bottle,
I'd pour it all out for my homies
and head back to the store
for some Ben and Jerry's!

Life is full of lemons,
so keep your ******* cherries!
Just hand me the sugar bowl
and spoon me out change for the ferry

Life is pretty scary if you stop
and think about it for awhile
It's filled with emptiness
and fanatics with minds running wild

All I got is a pocket full of loose change,
broken dreams and empty promises
a broken heart and a mix tape
that's full of songs for ostriches

My head is buried in the sand
and...and I can't quite say when I started to care
Has it always been buried here,
or did the tears and fears take away all my air?

I'm just as big of a mess as you are
and I always have been, see?
If you're gonna eavesdrop, better listen and take notes,
else you make all the same mistakes as me.
