Meager Days

Hey girl what are you thinking of
Seems like you've been living on a cloud
That drifted in from brighter parts
Then gradually turned black and poured you out

Wish i could say in all this time
I'd learned enough to help you shrug it off
But i can't tell left from right sometimes
And i may just as well have wandered off

Do you know that i lie awake
When you start closing up
Sometimes you're the only one i love

Hey girl do you get envious
Does everyone around appear to gloat
It's hard to stay impervious
To all the shit they're sneaking down your throat

Do you know this dream that i have
One day we'll end up alone
In some insatiable consumer-friendly place
And every bite-size portion falling from the sky
Will seem to laugh in our face

And do you know i lie awake
When you start closing up
Cause sometimes you re the only one i love
My heart may be a small support
To hold in meager days
But i'll let you have it all
And it just might be enough
