Somewhere To Be

Cut and paste these highways
Cut along the dotted line
Your scissors don't seem to be working
Darling and I'd lend you mine
But my blades are dull and rusty
I can hardly get them closed
But i'm as open as a book
I'll tell you all you need to know
About the city sinking under
And where we're gonna be
How everyone is planning
And everyone you see
About the conspiracy against me
How the world is gonna end
I'm not sure just how it finishes
But I know how it begins
All I want is for you to find somewhere to be
Somewhere's very vague
No particular place
As long as you're with me
The cracks along these sidewalks
Are like the cracks inside our minds
Mind your mother and your father
For you'll bury them in time
The coffin's being lowered
Like a seed into the ground
But then new life springs up around us
Take a breath and look around
Children play
People say
They don't know what they've got
They forget how to live
Now they're old and they never did
And they're happy having not
All I want is for you to find somewhere to be
Somewhere's very vague
No particular place
As long as you're with me
With me
So the ceiling's falling down now
And I'm lying in my bed
And I'm turning over everything
I wish I would have said
Yesterday slipped away
All I can say is catch today
So you go to and fro waiting for a sign
You fail to see you can be wasting all your time
All I want is for you to find somewhere to be
Somewhere's very vague
No particular place
As long as you're happy
