What do you do when your heart's not home
I get real small
And take to things like going around on my own
Reaching for something to help me remember
And hoping that I might get left behind

Fighting the truth with empty anger
Missing the point of the lesson
That I preach to every other person around
Falling in love with wrong ideas
And knowing it's all just a Catch 22 in the end

So at the end of a never ending hour
Day beside another day
I hope that you gave all your love away

I reach in my hat but the trick's not there
So my fingers pretend they can learn a little magic
By grasping at the empty air
I want to be more substantial than science says I am
But I can only seem to make things happen when I'm lacking a plan

So at the end of a never ending hour
Day beside another day
I hope that you gave all your love away

Wrong ain't wrong until I say it's so
And if you find our father let him know
We've all got a book of notions inside our heads

But nothing's enough when you're trying no to end up dead
And nothing's enough when you want the whole world instead
