first I’d like to say that I’m sorry
I’ve done all the tricks that I can
cinnamon bun in the oven
there’s a fire in my hand

did you see the light this morning
sometimes there’s this extra air
sometimes I can keep my mouth open
I will stay if I dare

did you hear what they call us?
did you hear what they said?
my plan was flexible
don’t get stuck anywhere

can I just hold you for a minute
some things just ain’t easy to repair
the person who came here was broken
can you fix it, can you care

did you hear what they call us?
did you hear what they said?
I’ve got a plan that’s flexible
just don’t stop anywhere

it’s a common misperception
this is not a band
ready for a dissection
now mommy’s gotta work, see the land

did you hear what they call us?
did you hear what they said?
I’ve got a plan that’s flexible
just don’t stop anywhere
