Wanderlust

Maybe when we're older and better for our sins
We can laugh it off and peel our sunburnt skin
And watch our freckled shoulders as they start to disappear
And sit and wonder how and why we've grown up all these years

Well, when did I begin to let you tell me what to do?
I said, "What gives you the right to take an inch or two?"
And so I'll peel my skin off like a solitary snake
To leave you in the dust, wonderin' who was my namesake

Maybe when we're older and better for our sins
We can laugh it off and peel our sunburnt skin
And watch our freckled shoulders as they start to disappear
And sit and wonder how and why we've grown up all these years

We dragged a featherbed onto the empty kitchen floor
And rubbed our bones against the wood to even up the score
Well, tally marks don't always add up, what we are to say?
A linear life is what you lead, but who am I to blame?

Well, maybe when we're older and better for our sins
We can laugh it off and peel our sunburnt skin
And watch our freckled shoulders as they start to disappear
And sit and wonder how and why
And how and why
How
How and
How and why
