You're like the smell of a perfume
The way you linger when you leave the room
The way you stand out like an elephant in Idaho
And ice cream with a spoon
But I was just a kid
And I was into all the stuff we did
You had to throw Icarus in a microwave
And toss him off a bridge

It's a little bit like trying to fit
Ohio in a bucket
I think I'm going to need a bigger pail

Everything is a debate
The more we talk the more we escalate
As I take another casualty
The rest of me will try to mediate
Fighting goliath with a feather
You're brother, son and your whatever
I could be the lynchpin for the family
That cannot stay together

Fault lines are not fixtures, they are made to quake
Stitches are not superglue, they are made to break
I would hold you next to me until my arms are blue
But wonderful is wearing out on you

A stupid egg up on his perch
Entire kingdoms in the lurch
Screaming at the chicken in the kitchen
I came first! I came first!
But none of this is fair
Cause we are faces under masks we wear
Looking through the eyeholes I see icicles
And icy little stares

It's a little bit like trying to fit
Ohio in a bucket
I think I'm going to need a bigger pail

Fault lines are not fixtures, they are made to quake
Stitches are not superglue, they are made to break
I would hold you next to me until my arms are blue
Wonderful is all I want from you
Wonderful is all I want from you
