Album: The Upsides (2010)

Logan Circle: A New Hope

They turned on the fountain today as I rode down 19th to Logan Circle,
I felt something in me change,
And I was thinking about how we all feel its been down,
The world's not that bad of a place,

We just can't blame the seasons,
The Blue Man Group won't cure depression,
But Arrested Development might if we let it
And you should come by at eleven,
We're 533 on Manson
I haven't thought that much about high school in ages
And I can't pretend,

I'm afraid that we're wasting away,
We're all sleeping in circles or talking shit in diners,
And I've been better but I'm feeling okay,
I'm not even sad anymore,
I'm just so tired most nights,

And I've been drowning my sorrows in Lucky Charms and soy milk
For the record, I'm not vegan, I just prefer the taste
We're getting pretzels with Fireworks at midnight
And I don't need maps or sidewalk cracks this way

We wrote the upsides in my basement
And pissed off all the neighbors
Jess and I barely slept when they had sex
This street has been seen much worse,
Than some fucking pop-punk band
And I used to hate it, but I miss it since I left

So I'm afraid that we're wasting away,
We're all sleeping in circles or talking shit in diners,
And I've been better but I'm feeling okay,
I'm not even sad anymore,
I'm just so tired most nights,

They turned on the fountain today at Logan Circle,
They turned on the fountain today,
They turned on the fountain today at Logan Circle,
I felt something in me...

I'm afraid that we're wasting away,
I'm afraid,
So I'm afraid that we're wasting away,
We're all sleeping in circles or talking shit in diners,
And I've been better but I'm feeling okay,
I'm not even sad anymore
