lyrics

What Makes Me Think

This old brown coat, it hangs on the wall
Covering my room with a shade
It’s simple design leaves much to be desired
But it’s never let me down on a cold day
The old window by bed has no time to be concerned
With the fleeting light that it lets in
It’s just happy to be of use
An objective point of view of the condition of the world or my yard

Chorus
What makes me think
I could have it in a blink
What makes me think
I have the right

I’m cold, calm, collected
I’m not one to be affected
By the tumultuous relation of time and space
But when I look into your eyes
I see thousands of miles
Of bad roads you helped me to evade
It ain’t too hard to see
In the end the fool was me
For admiring a cart with no horse
Like an old time expression
Your words they are a lesson
On putting care into everything you do

Chorus

Life’s a funny story
Where the end is always blurry
And the start is too hard to recall
But as far as I can tell
We make it up by the hour
Stretching our poor brains to the bone
Now I’ve taken my time to wander
I’ve broken dreams that couldn’t be soldered
Like a carved mountain soil, I’ve had to settle
I’m burying my excuses
I see the lines, I am lucid
I could throw cold water until I wear away

Chorus
