Everyone’s on infinite vacation
No point in life if we’re not satisfied all the time
Everyone’s a fool for relaxation
West Coast would be the perfect spot to breathe and unwind
I’m not the type
Of guy to
Hold my bets on just the perfect place
Cooler July
Winter in Hollywood yet my problems remain
You trust your heart can’t always trust your brain
Am I not better this way?
Everyone’s on infinite vacation
Letter to letter like a pinball game, no reply
Everyone’s a sucker for a good story
The one you always knew was never not by your side
I’m not the type
Of guy to
Hold my bets on just one perfect place
Cooler July
Winter in Hollywood yet my problems remain
You trust your heart can’t always trust your brain
Am I not better this way?

Jerry and Elaine

You shocked me out of sleep
Did not expect to be
Headfirst into day one
We live fast we die young
Nothing that I could say
Would make you walk away
You loved my honesty
I loved that you were into me
We shared a thing or two
Told you when I feel blue
You loved the books I’d read
Your mind was on the bed
And I can not blame you
Love is a game it’s true
Still I felt scared to think
You find my topics interesting
But maybe we could be
Just like jerry and Elaine
Hit the spot pop a
Bottle and complain
We had a history before the show was made
But none of that matters when the feelings go away
I called you up one night
Knew I had to take flight
Sharing strange germs with you
Felt like the way to lose
control of everything
Wish I felt differently
Put your life on the line
I pat my pockets check the time
The words formed on my lips
I think that this is it
I could not take it back
You had a heart attack
Like stepping on a mouse
Life’s weight came crashing down
Yet I have to confess
I got over you rather quick
So maybe we could be
Just like Jerry and Elaine
Hit the spot pop a
Bottle and complain
We had a history before the show was made
But none of that matters when the feelings go away
You had your speed
And still I swear it feels like
I’m 17
When do the movies get it right

Though I wish I had the Mazda3
The Subaru is good for me
It’s not like my identity
Revolves around some car
Though I still fall for jealousy
My mind churns like a CVT
Chugging up a storm
And going nowhere fast
My new identity
Is shaking on the shelf
As I submit to instincts
That have never helped
I wish I never had to feel this way again
But I know
That I’ll be fine in the end
Though I wish my yearly salary
Came from your fathers company
I know that my self worth is not
Determined by my wealth
And though money can’t buy everything
It can buy quite a lot of things
Like knowing that your house
Can withstand a tropical storm
My new identity
Is shaking on the shelf
As I submit to instincts
That have never helped
I wish I never had to feel this way again
But I know
That I’ll be fine in the end
Though I wish I had the Mazda3
The Subaru is good for me
I wish I had the package
with the Dolby sound system
My ears hurt from the frequencies
That sound like telephones to me
Still I hear the melody
That guides me to my way home
Still I hear the melody
And I know I’m not alone
