Conundrum

I'll make up some excuse
To waste away the afternoon
Try not to embarrass you
Or erase my day
In weighted blanket cocoons

'Cause saying yes to you
Means saying no to me
Saying yes to you
Means saying no to me

Pick a damn pen
And write it down
Put it all on paper
Get it out
Make it clear

And pick a damn chord
And start to sing
It won't matter much
How the song begins
My dear

Pick a damn job
And make some cash
Yeah, it's capitalist
But you've gotta' last
It's tough

And pick a damn place
And settle down
It won't be forever
You can move around
My love
