lyrics

Astounded you put your heart on a kite string
Need to find you a whole new daydream
Where I don't die,where I don't scream
Where a new low aint waiting around the corner from me
Why can't we focus on nice things?

Close matters one of two ways
Horseshoes and hand grenades
Lets take the backyard
Lest we start to think
Slip a fist misconstrue a wink
Lines drawn she's my dame
Standup and about face
Spin it back to middle school ways
What happened to him what could he have seen?
To make a nice boy so coldhearted and mean
Why can't we focus on nice things

If assholes were airplanes
This place would be an airport
Baby you would be a jumbo jet
Just because you're breathing it doesn't mean you're living
Here's a heart shaped shit for your ills
If wishes were fish we wouldn't cast nets
We'd choose dynamite and speed up the process

What kills you can cure you with the right turn
You're an old dog with a briefcase full of big ideas
But you can still learn some new tricks
How to be a man, unlearn the shake poised to break their hand
Why can't we focus on nice things?
Why I couldn't say guess some aint wired that way
I'd rather pick you up than knock you down level with me
Why can't we focus on nice things?
