lyrics

I'm already disheartened
with dumpster diving
I know we've hardly started
but I can't avoid feeling
I'm out of season
with your drive
to save watermelons from going to waste

and I knew you'd be the woman
who could carry me on her back
towards that noble goal I lack
but you're cutting such a
steep steep road
now we save the oceans
one email at a time
we pick the locks on supermarket dumpsters
and you fight old friends in the kitchen
over rotting convictions

you'd be better with someone to match your tattoos
someone whose parents couldn't inject that piety deep under the skin
my only guess
is I mean something bigger to you
and If I can be dragged along
maybe the world can too
but the world will never be as taken with you

and we didn't find vegetables in any of them
but you know that wasn't what we were looking for
you needed the security guard to show up
to shout a sermon from the dumpster
you just needed a man's stomach to punch
and it couldn't be me
had to be a guy with some scrap of authority
you're at your best when you're angry
just tonight I wish you'd turn it on me
