lyrics

Look at that moth in the streetlamp glow
It's a shooting star if you blink at it slow
You got out the car and pointed below
Roads like rivers of people we'll never know

But who would want to know us anyway
I laugh but I laugh at everything you say

I woke up pushing through
some kind of white noise when you called
Going on and on in the parking lot
Of some strip mall
You are the break of dawn
That hit me in a chapel Hall
You know everyone and everything as a wall
But I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all

You gave me some money
And a night of my own
I said thank you a lot, I'll spend it alone
I feel years behind the people
In the places I go
So much I could say, so much I should know

Who would want to see me anyway
You laugh but you laugh at everything I say

I woke up pushing through
Some kind of white noise when you called
Going on and on in the parking lot
Of some strip mall
You are the break of dawn
A spotlight in a concert hall
You know everyone and everything as a wall
But I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all

We're up in a plane looking down
The ants in our floorboards
Are people in their little towns
I don't know how they stay
Don't know what they found
We don't really keep much of anything
But alcohol around
There's got to be a number we can call
There has gotta be a number we can call
There's got to be a number we can call
But I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all
