---lyrics
i know i never call you on a work day
and i’m gonna call your sisters after this
we’re not quite sure what happened
we’re calling it an accident for now
there isn’t more that we can do
i’ll call you back when i got
a bit more news
i only drink high fructose on occasion
i traded all my tupperware for glass
and that’s all helpful stuff
if we live long enough
i guess we’ll improvise the rest
as it comes up
they don’t know how long
he’s gonna lie there
and he’s too weak to use the telephone
it’s looking pretty dire
could come right down to the wire
and i don’t wanna say goodbye alone
so get some sleep make some coffee
and hit the road
drive up tomorrow morning
i pray to god it’s boring but if not
i’m gonna need to see my son
i’m driving on the highway crying northward
praying you’ll be there when i pull up
and the campus parking nightmare
feels more corrupt than healthcare
when i swipe my credit card
to see my dad
hold my breath and echo down the hallway
right before my fingers touch the door
i see every song unspooling
rearranging and retuning
til they settle on
the only things we know
we live and we die
and in between we grow
i only drink high fructose on occasion
