lyrics

I have never kept a diary
‘Cuz writing what I know does not inspire me
And I try not to pick up any new rituals
While keeping track of what I’m learning
After a long day doing nothing
I spend the night worried about everything
All this time I’ve allotted to tossing and turning

And naming the company car
After a star of classic cinema
This is the golden age of the commonplace
And the rest takes care of itself
Right there at the junction
Between design and function
Sits your beautiful body… of work

All the wrong people have imposter syndrome
The actual imposters are just ecstatic to be getting away with it
And you and I both know how hard it can be just to look folks in the eye
And if you need someone to help you
Find out what your dreams are trying to tell you
I will be of no use
But I will dream beside you

Naming the company car
After a star of classic cinema
This is the golden age of the commonplace
And the rest takes care of itself
Right there at the junction
Between design and function
Sits your beautiful body… of work
