about

A song about my friend Bill. And trying to forget things but ending up remembering them for a long, long time.

lyrics

He knocks but doesn't wait for a response
And talks on and on as we cross the quad
His garments scream sex, or so he says
but we don't believe the things we guess
until he decrees it's all in the decks
leave nothing to chance
but it's all hedging bets
and pants, wearing them around the ankles
handcuffs himself to the desk-bed at weird angles
all the property, all the rules must be followed
anyone talking about me, swallow the pills before we're followed
hollow hearts lit on fire by the opposite part, simple hallo?
a halo, pure of intention but bitter by indirect intervention
not to mention the letter that lets you lay low
and call bullshit on any ocean of legos
play the minecraft, eat the eggos
take your time with that, I'll wait across the road
and find the fastest ticket home
while you're fiddling with the keys on a rope
specifically paracord and your robe
wear the headscarf and bass pro hat
hawaiian shirt, nobody else will look like that

CHORUS
it's all okay
there's no need to worry or wait
tomorrow will come
before we ever forget today
so don't worry
tomorrow will come
before we ever forget today

He comes back
awake in the morning
not sure what day it is
disheveled but worn
and like a fading suit
frayed at the ends
warning us and
afraid of everything being true
the world bends around him
taking its time moseying
You can guarantee he'll bring a frown to your face
as soon as you're close to him
but let's take a step back or two
pose a question as we binge
as he drinks his coffee black
and bill sits, looking back
nothing fills time better than killing the gaps
