lyrics

Funeral

I can tell you’d like me better
If I were better looking
Looking at myself in the
reflection of my room


Lately I've been wondering
What you're, been wondering what you’re doing
Sitting here listening to your favorite album

Want to do something that feel like a movie
But I'm afraid it's a weepy that has run to long
Hoping for the trick end that reveals the meaning
Guess I'm just trying not to write a song

Oh my—I haven't been doing nothing have I?
Get your life together you would say
Beneath your window spins a crown of love
And I'd crawl that tunnel just to see you everyday

Cause it’s tearing me to bits
Cause I somehow just can’t fit
But you know I can’t talk about it

You dance and you settle
My heart is a broken mirror
I’m gonna call it funeral
Cause it’s what you like to hear

Watching cartoons and saccharine fiction
Cozied up with sad uncomfortable truths
And you tell me I'm the champion of my own disappointments
Well, when that's what you are then what's the use?

Ahh, I've been so miserable Morrissey would have blush
Writing things too late to write
But still I must’ve written over two dozen
Cause every moment feels like a year without light


Cause it’s tearing me to bits
Cause I somehow just can’t fit
But you know I can’t talk about it

You dance and you settle
My heart is a broken mirror
I’m gonna call it funeral
Cause it’s what you like to hear

How could you turn me out?
Where else would I go?
Nowadays you're the only one I know
And I how happy I was
From the hospital you to take
How could I refuse when you ask
me with that face you make
So I drove you to your new love-at-last
Cause I'm a sucker for thankless tasks
Getting folded over and over
In the ways you feel
Forgetting’s a tune you mull over
Like Honzo steel
Oh, we only do the things that we knew we would
Once again getting lost in the neighborhood

But you know I can’t talk about it

You dance and you settle
My heart is a broken mirror
I’m gonna call it funeral
Cause it’s what you like to hear


(Don’t wait on the kettle)
It’s what you like to hear
(Plug in the Nintendo)
It’s what you like to hear
(You dance and you settle)
It’s what you like to hear
(Better look out below)
