Effort

[Verse 1]
Tomorrow you might be gone
So stand out on the lawn
Practice waving goodbye, courageous crane, fly
Tell me, what's the point of loving someone at all?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm small and I feel that way in the morning
Everyone's leaving the city for someplace pretty
And I'm lonely

[Chorus]
I don't know why it takes so much effort to feel good these days
And I don't know why I'm still awake
Waiting for you

[Verse 2]
Blue swimming pool, clear carrots in the garden
Lamb's ear growing from the concrete
Brought you a pie one November in the evening
A certain sweetness only found in memory

[Pre-Chorus]
So sweet that I have to remind myself
Oh, this feeling is fleeting
And I'm always somewhere else

[Chorus]
I don't know why it takes so much effort to feel good these days
And I don't know why I'm still awake
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
I don't know why, but it takes so much effort to feel good these days
And I don't know why I'm still awake
Looking for something to do
What do I do?

[Bridge]
Watch dumb TV, go for a walk
Write in a journal, stare at the clock
Call a friend, whisper
"Fuck you" to the world

[Outro]
I am spent
I am spent
I am spent
I am spent
I am spent
I am
