Education on Earth

I always thought I had good sense

But I stuck my hand in the gears

We fought so long to break cycles

What came next wasn't clear

We were looking for an audience

Now I don't know what that's worth

Maybe it's time that I started

My education on Earth

If you've got no plan, you've got nothing

Yeah, like I thought you'd say

How to get your mind off everything

Doesn't help at all

Show me how my logic is weak

Such an intellectual

And if I've even learned anything

It's how to be small

(Woah-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)

(Woah-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Stuttering through your good morning

"Are you an anxious person?"

You use an awful lot of words

A simple yes would have served

Silver maples are common

Chestnuts are endangered

Maybe it's time that I started

My education on earth

Feels like I've been in deep space

How to get your mind off everything

Doesn't help at all

Show me how my logic is weak

Such an intellectual

And if I've even learned anything

Feels like I've been in deep space

Fix my mind on the salt-stained sidewalk

On the ice-crested rooftops

There isn't anything—

That is, no one left waiting

No one waiting on my call

Maybe it's time to start
