Modest Mouse - Missed The Boat
"Missed The Boat"
While we're on the subject
Could we change the subject now?
I was knocking on your ear's door but you were always out
Looking towards the future
We were begging for the past
Well we knew we had the good things
But those never seemed to last
Oh please just last
Everyone's unhappy
Everyone's ashamed
Well we all just got caught looking
At somebody else's page
Well nothing ever went
Quite exactly as we planned
Our ideas held no water
But we used them like a dam
Oh, and we carried it all so well
As if we got a new position
Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
Saying yes, this is a fine promotion
Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
Of course everyone goes crazy
Over such and such and such
We made ourselves a pillar
We just used it as a crutch
We were certainly uncertain
At least I'm pretty sure I am
Well we didn't need the water
But we just built that good God dam
Oh, and I know this of myself
I assume as much for other people
Oh, and I know this of myself
We've listened more to life's end gong
Than the sound of life's sweet bliss
Was it ever worth it?
Was there all that much to gain?
Well we knew we missed the boat
And we'd already missed the plane
We didn't read the invite
We just dance at our wake
All our favorites were playing
So we could shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Tiny curtains open and we heard the tiny clap of little hands
A tiny man would tell a little joke and get a tiny laugh from all the folks
Sitting drifting around in bubbles and thinking it was us that carried them
When we finally got it figured out that we had truly missed the boat
Oh, and we carried it all so well
As if we got a new position
Oh, and we owned all the tools ourselves
But not the skills to make a shelf with
Oh, what useless tools ourselves
Make me believe
You run away, I wouldn't take back
Every day that we spent but
That one night you did me wrong
Led me on, same old song
All my girls say make him pay
Kick him out, let him stay
I'm so confused and misused
I feel abused, so abused
And I'm not talking about would I, should I, could I
And I'm not talking 'bout the things I should've did
And I'm not talking about would I, should I, could I
And I'm not talking 'bout the things I should've did
Make me believe that you'll stick around for good
Make me believe that I'm not misunderstood
Make me believe, make me believe, make me believe
I'm not buying what you're selling, quit with all the lies you're telling
Make me believe that I'm not just all your dream
Make me believe that you're not just full of it
Make me believe, make me believe, make me believe
I'm not buying what you're selling, quit with all the lies you're telling
You wonder why this girl won't answer
When you call and romance her
You're so amazed that I don't pay
You attention these days
All my girls say he's just there
For the ride, he don't care
So come on, one on one
Here's your chance prove them wrong
And I'm not talking about would I, should I, could I
And I'm not talking 'bout the things I should've did
And I'm not talking about would I, should I, could I
And I'm not talking 'bout the things I should've did
