[Verse 1]

So I have this

 dream, it com

es like twice 

in a week

It’s been so f

or years and y

ears on repeat

And since then

 I’ve not had 

a full night o

f sleep

'Cause it play

s out the same

 way

I live with th

is girl and ou

r kid

I’m as happy a

s a pig rolled

 in shit


It’s postcard,

 I’m settled, 

a pirate no mo

re

A gypsy at mos

t with no mort

gage

It’s boring bu

t in the most 

exquisite of w

ays

No carcinogeni

c and humdrum 

malaise

And it’s stran

ge, all the th

ings that I’ve

 run from

Are the things

 that complete

ness could com

e from

[Instrumental]
          

[Verse 2]

So anyways, we

’re happy and 

impossibly so

It’s earth and

 it’s heaven, 

all simpatico

Floorboards la

id out and the

 walls painted

 white

My dream self 

and I like the

 same things

They’re all se

t to leave and

 I kiss them g

oodbye

They go and ge

t groceries or

 something and

 I

Am drinking al

one in the bas

ement

 And pray I’m 

not hallucinat

ing

[Chorus]

Do not let thi

s thing you go

t go to waste

Do not let you

r heart be dis

mayed

It’s here by s

ome random dis

closure of gra

ce

From some vasc

ular, great th

ing

Let your life 

grow strong an

d sweet to the

 taste

'Cause the odd

s are complete

ly insane

Do not let you

r spirit wane

Do not let you

r spirit wane
    
No, no, no, no

, no, no

[Instrumental]


[Verse 3]

In love, I am 

careful to mos

tly reserved

And this dream

 is a life I d

on’t think I d

eserve

My girl and ou

r kid are impo

ssibly bright

And I am just 

drunk in my ba

sement

See a car, see

 my girl and l

ook at our kid

Approaching a 

corner, with r

ain and a skid

Then a phone c

all to me from

 the ICU ward

"Sir, I’m so s

orry to say th

is”

I’m walking al

one through th

e hospital doo

r

ID their bodie

s, collapse to

 the floor

Numb and relen

tlessly broken

Then I wake up

 the very next

 moment

[Chorus]

Do not let thi

s thing you go

t go to waste

Do not let you

r heart be dis

mayed

It’s here by s

ome random dis

closure of gra

ce

From some vasc

ular, great th

ing

Do not let thi

s thing you go

t go to waste

The pain and t

he beauty, so 

strange

Do not let you

r spirit wane

Do not let you

r spirit wane
