lyrics

I wish I could go to
New Orleans
I'd be a painter of someone in need
But for now
All I am
Is someone who drinks too much tea

Hard to sit and wait for life to begin
But I have to take that step
For myself

When my laptop dies I recharge it
So what kind of thing can I use to recharge me
All I have is food and sleep
And I have too much of one and not enough of the other
And it's all my own fault when I'm inconvenienced
But that doesn't stop me from doing it
I need to go to sleep but everyone enables my bad habits
By staying up with me

I only know two chords on the ukulele
They are C and G
It doesn't help me when I have to play along
With people beside me
Cause they will move on and I stay on the same two chords

I'll write up some comics and I'll build them up
Until they're something I can live on
And something more than just a sleeping dream
But until then I'll just imagine
Futures that will never become real
