Squares and Lines

Lyrics

There's something about the squares and the lines And how they somehow make up a wall There's something I was supposed to say, I think But I can't remember at all The body can only take so much of nothing Before something starts to give The day can only do so much dying Before another starts to live Dear everyone, I love you And I thought that you should know Because I sure would like to meet you Because it's lonely being alone There's something about using five chords To write five hundred songs Boy, that's some kinda book that you got there That'll tell me what's right and what's wrong In black and white television In my basement in 1995 There's something comforting in knowing That the dead can never die Any more than they already have, at least You know it'll never change Because what was and what is and what will be Will always be the same Don't you know you should never worry Just take comfort in this That somewhere there's something And somewhere there's someone Who you'll never know exists Everything that'll make you happy Is just around the bend Which is where it'll always be, my dear boy No one reaches it
