Don't Make Plans

from Ahem. by Quiet Takes

/

lyrics

I was in front of you
Holding water with my hands
Why if it wasn’t true
Was I ever making plans

Wading flood plains (Do what I wouldn’t do)
Carry my tapes
(Hoping someone understands)
Play me grace notes (I was in front of you)
Stand in my place
(Giving up on my demands)

Beta history (Signs right in front of you)
Choose for me now
(Couldn’t read it with my hands)
Dull down mystery (Why if it wasn’t true)
Compress my sound
(Was I ever making plans)

Bowed low, crossed time (I was in front of you)
Stacked a fragile shrine
(Cannot meet you where you stand)
Good lord, bad serf (Why, if it wasn’t true)
Change the goddam line
(Was I ever making plans?)

I thought I bought a ticket I thought I bought a ticket I thought I bought a ticket out
(I was in front of you)
(Holding water with my hands)
I thought I bought a ticket I thought I bought a ticket I thought I bought a ticket out
(Why if it wasn’t true)
Out out out out out (Was I ever making plans)
