lyrics

I want something I
can look in the eyes of.

Today I stepped out
to find an ape in my backyard.
She was holding her hand out,
asking to jam.
I gave her a guitar
and we were playing a song.
But she took to the trees
when I tried to hold her hand.

Would you believe I meant
every word I said?
The sweat spreads to my palm.
Open hand.
And I want something
I can look in the eyes of,
not a flighty creature
playing guitar in my yard.

Now a lion's moving in.
And my banana brain's unpeeled.
He shape-shifts into a tree
and says:
I'll never go anywhere.

But I want something,
I can look in the eyes of,
not the trunk of a tree
in a dream where i'm awake.
Would you believe I meant
every word I said?
Put em in your head,
try to understand?

I've been inventing friends
to keep me company,
inventing friends
but they're unwilling
to stay with me.
Yeah they left me alone.
So if you wanna go,
you wanna go,
just go.
Go. Go. Go. Go.
