Ode to Jenny Lewis

I'd rather be lonely

"Come with me."

I'd rather be free

"Where?"

I'm as sure

"New York?"

as the moon

"To live where?"

rolls around

"You're mother's house?"

the sea

But I like watching you undress

"Stay here"

And I think we're at our best

"Annapolis?"

By the flicker

"D.C."

by the light

"No."

of the TV set

"Why not?"

Cause I can't remember why I hated you

"Because."

Can't remember why I still do

"I just can't."

But I'm as sure as the moon rolls around you

"Okay."

That I could be happy

"Okay?"

happy

"Okay."

Oh, so happy

"So, now what?"

happy, Oh, so happy

"So, now..."

so happy

"...now we say goodbye."

They warn you about killers and thieves in night

I worry about cancer and living right

But my mama never warned me about my own

Destructive appetite

Or the pitfalls of control

How it locks you in your grave

Looking for someone to be saved under my restraint

So I could be happy, happy

Oh so happy, happy

Oh so happy, happy

So happy, so happy
