Absofacto - Gnat Years lyrics
[Absofacto - Gnat Years lyrics]
A year in a day i wake to the spring
Watch summer fade to gray
And sleep to the fall
Two bumps on my spine
I thought that I might grow
Wings and learn to fly
But they didn't sprout
I wouldn't know where to go
If they did come out
So maybe it's just as well oh well
There's beauty I found
Just watching the light streak
As you rush around
Three hundred and sixty five
Times faster than i can perceive
It bends and it breaks into pieces
And through the cracks
I can decode meaningless sounds
I'm holding myself to lower standards
Nothing to expect now, I hope, I hope
I'm living my life in gnat years
I'm living my life in gnat years
I made a boo coo buck
Getting loose with the juicer
As my orchid wife sit's wilting
Softly on the sill
My tiny brain's wick's thirst
Quenched by the wax
And my true love's flicker's
Getting brighter ever day
I want to scratch out the message
On your reading glass lens
But my time's almost up and I
Don't quite remember what it is
A year in a day, a year in a day
Watch summer fade to gray
And sleep to the fall
Two bumps on my spine
I thought that I might grow
Wings and learn to fly
But they didn't sprout
I wouldn't know where to go
If they did come out
So maybe it's just as well oh well
There's beauty I found
Just watching the light streak
As you rush around
Three hundred and sixty five
Times faster than i can perceive
It bends and it breaks into pieces
And through the cracks
I can decode meaningless sounds
I'm holding myself to lower standards
Nothing to expect now, I hope, I hope
I'm living my life in gnat years
I'm living my life in gnat years
I made a boo coo buck
Getting loose with the juicer
As my orchid wife sit's wilting
Softly on the sill
My tiny brain's wick's thirst
Quenched by the wax
And my true love's flicker's
Getting brighter ever day
I want to scratch out the message
On your reading glass lens
But my time's almost up and I
Don't quite remember what it is
A year in a day, a year in a day
