lyrics

The people I thought I heard outside was just the screen door swinging
I had planned to take a walk, but it’s cold and windy
I could go out anyway
But I’ve worked too hard on my long division

In six days I’ll be twenty-five, on the twenty-third of February
I thought it was minus thirty-five but it was only minus eleven
Guess I have to take that walk
Or I’ll spend my whole day thinking bout how I didn’t

No one will see me here
No one will see me here

Rainbow circles from a crystal ball, I wanted to sound wiser
This is how it is for now, see you back when weather’s warmer
If we find the time at all
It’s a long division

Over time the edges burn away to something I can sift around in the char for
Sand in my bed, bugs and birds are mingling, dancing with the spots in my eyes
This is all that it is, this is all that I get, the geese are really thundering by now
Where are they going, jealous of their clear minds never seem to be alone

No one will see me here
No one will see me here
And if you think you might want to look
Please look away now
I’m not ready for you yet
