I Hope Your Goldfish Doesn't Die

from HOT AIR BALLOON by Advrb

lyrics

i'm staggering up and down the road
in my friend's clothes that i borrowed
there's a house near my house
that's standing up on stilts
why are they building so many fucking houses
while at the same time cutting down all my favorite trees?
well i hope your goldfish doesn't die
and i hope you figure out why
you keep kissing me, and i keep kissing you
maybe we're friends, maybe we're through...
you want to know
why it was hard for me to go?
re-open those envelopes,
spill the contents out onto the bed,
touch the papers and the thread.
i wanted you to be able to
read between my careful lines
to see my eyes and the way they shined.
you're a tightrope artist,
a trapeze swinger, a contortionist-
you want everyone to bend you, throw you, adore you
well i hate to break it to you but they don't all want to
and i hope your goldfish doesn't die
and i hope you figure out why
you keep kissing me, and i keep kissing you
maybe we're friends, maybe we're through...
