Autographs And Apologies

Motion City Soundtrack · I Am The Movie [2002]

Outline of a storyboard

With no idea

Head first in the shallow end

I apologize if I do not care



Busy hands keep swimming

They don't like swallowing

To the abstract motor,

Gotta make that motor hum gotta make it run

Forward seems like forever

When "ever" is hand over hand over hand

The busy hands keeps swimming

Gotta make that motor "hum"

Get it over and done



So much for the autographs

So much for apologies

So much for promises I never intended to keep

How does it all add up?

How does the story end?

I can't let go

I can't pretend



Very I'm so friendly

Very I'm so Halloween

So this is what I wanted

Gotta keep those channels clean

And other sobering themes

I'm drowning by numbers

My halo is bent it's a fat fucking lie

And so the abstract motor gives in it says,

"At least I tried. at least I tried."



So much for the autographs

So much for apologies

So much for promises I never intended to keep

How does it all add up?

How does the story end?

I can't let go

I can't pretend

I can't let go

I can't pretend
