Bottle Episode

We're stuck in something stuck between
A costly hobby and a lofty dream
A looping sunk cost fallacy, can't quit til we're ahead
It just takes a little luck and a lot of elbow grease
So i guess we're just banking on getting really, really, really lucky
'cause if i know you like i think i do, and i do because you're me
I know sustained and focused effort has never really been your thing

Hey you're not me!
You're just the you that talks to me in the second person
Like we don't know who you mean
When you sing these songs and say these things
Pretending it's not you who needs to hear
'cause if it's not you it's me

What makes you so sure of that? let me jog your memory
You're the one who fucked our whole plan up
For a daydream you had when you were eight years old
Bedroom door locked, tiny little shirt off
Playin' air guitar to "brain stew"
On the godzilla cd that you just got
Thinking "what if something this much fuckin' fun was a real job?"
Thinking "what if something this much fuckin' fun was a real job?'

And that's what we both wanted!
Yeah well, one of us grew up
If this is all as great as you say it is
Shouldn't more of it be fun?

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove
Or who you're trying to prove it to
You're not bound to
What your parents thought would be the best for you
Then who? 'cause it kinda sounds like
You think i should stay the course
A third grader thought through the farthest
That kid wasn't the smartest, but you must have you blocked that out
Well, let an eight year old make all your choices
Let me know how that plays out
