I woke up in someone else's life
new face
new toothbrush

I did the dirty dishes and had arguments
I toasted stranger-friends for their support
and suffered for the good of a foreign relationship

All the while my hands were not mine
fixing broken dresser drawers
gripping the steering wheel
waiting for two kids to stop screwing around back there

How long will this last…
This brand new face?
When I will I get back to whatever it was I knew before this?
Was I happier?
I don't remember now

I can still open the door when it rains
so its not all bad.
its just different

this is for me
just a little bit
for you and your friends
with their perfume hair flip

so much stock
so much stock
in this

but really what do you mean
you can't stay for drinks
what do you mean

i wait for nothing at all

technology fails me
frequencies let you down
weak bass response
shaky voice
but its pure
don't be a bitch
its pure

i think your belly is a garden
full of weeds and stupid dreams
you say "like" too much
but planets orbit your every word
He still has your jacket
go get it
go get it
I will drive you there
