Forever and a Half

Pack your bags, get out the door
What the fuck are we waiting for?
The working world can wait, at least for a pass
Oh, this could last forever and a half
Yeah, we've got pets so we'd have to come back
But till then, let's you and me hit the tracks
Walk on the earth 'till out feet get black with the dirt
Oh, this could last forever and a half
And you could tell me this is just the best case scenario
And you could tell me this is not a good song for radio (you'd be right)
But really it'a song to make you laugh
And I hope it lasts forever and a half
Could be a plane, could be a raft
Or a massive clipper ship with a 50 foot mast
Time is passing quickly so we've gotta get a move on, babe
Oh, this could last forever and a half
I've got shit feet, you've got shit calves
You've got shit knees and I've got a shit back
Our bodies will crack, but we'll carry on anyways
Oh, this could last forever and a half
We'll walk in the sand and lie in the grass
And play for spare change that they'll throw in our hats
Make just enough to do it again the next day
Oh, this could last forever and a half

Finding Words

Beginnings are the hardest part
The start is like a painting the artist painted dark
But lately, I've been thinking maybe I see the world too plainly
And take away it's charm
But as long as Batman's saving Gotham and Starfleet's sending ships out on their way
I will try to find, try to find, I will find the proper words to say
Cause I've searched my heart so many times but nothing every quite lived up to you
And I'm sitting here inside my head
And I'm running calculations to tell you how I feel
And I"m failing cause your exhilarating and my words are just a pale thing
Next to what they try to say
But as long as there's a madman traveling in a box through time and space
I will try to find, try to find, I will find the proper words to say
Cause I've searched my heart so many times but nothing ever quite lived up to you
Through fire, though ice and plague and death
I'll love you till the last breath has left this fragile frame
Goddammit - I thought that might have had it
But I guess I'll just have at it on another day
Because the joy of love ain't loving, the joy is in discovering your heart
And then digging deep, digging deep and giving someone else the kindest part
Cause I've searched my heart so many times but nothing ever quite lived up to you

I'm in debt - how much? I forget
The house we live in is full of holes our animals have left
And the showers full of shit, but at least there's not a fan for it to hit
And our dog's a nervous wreck, still I'ed do it all again
Well, maybe not the dog
Well, my car's broken down. I don't know why, I don't know how
All I know's I gotta move it off of Highway 9 before the cops come to impound
And my job's late again with their checks, this fucking bullshit never ends
We'll do the same damn thing again next week, but that's alright with me
Because stepping off of a cliff is much easier with
A friend who say "I'll race you to the bottom" but stays with you the whole trip
Stepping off of a cliff is much easier to do
So I hope next time I get to step off a cliff, I hope I get to step with you
It's just you and me and this big, bright, new city
The corridors we'll walk at night and the great food we will eat
And maybe if we're lucky, the dog won't tear out his fur
Who the fuck am I kidding? Of course he will. Still, it's something for us to hope for
Because stepping off of a cliff is much easier with
A friend who say "I'll race you to the bottom" but stays with you the whole trip
Stepping off of a cliff is much easier to do
So I hope next time I get to step off a cliff, I hope I get to step with you
I'm in debt- how much? I forget
I never thought to much about how much a soul is worth, so really it depends
