Lyrics
Today I lost a load of keys
Now I'm circling the blocks I leave each morning
A teacher in his forties, timid, boring
In the shits with kids who can't tell
Similes from allegories, but that's another story
I'm outside now and it's pouring
An unfortunate explorer creeping door to door
My feet's exhausted, keep em walking
Can't believe these things that I've forgotten
Throughout my life never really seized the moment
I blame the hobbits, Harry Potter, weed and ramen
Even dreaming as my daughter's talking
My partner thinks I'm lying often, keeping secrets
Shit like seeing colleagues on the weekend
The truth is that it's not that deep
I just lose some stuff sometimes and sometimes it's my keys
Fuck!
Today sucks, might go back to school to try my luck
Nah, nope, forget it, keep my head low on the pavement
Do my holy best to avoid an awkward conversation
With the janitor who stays late or my boo who hates games
Cause let me tell you
If my wife finds out I've lost my keys
It might just be the end dude, whoa
This a fight to save a marriage
One final chance to jump before we go down with my wreckage
And I reckon that the message life is giving me is
Wait, shit, yo
My daughter's waving from the window
It's 12AM I didn't tuck her with her pillows
It's sinful, but I'll walk until i see a ripple
Sweepin' and moppin' I see deeper than bottom
Teachers grinnin' at me with the teeth stained and rotten
You locked out, I'm locked in
I just dropped in to see what condition the human condition was in
I'm just waitin' for that portal to open up again
Again
Sweepin' and moppin' i seen deeper than bottom
I think that kid ran through your pockets
Shiny objects near and dear are closer than they appear
I waltzed undetected by the exit to claim the pair of
Keys my english teacher keeps in his left jacket pocket
On the hook by the door of this nest that I rot in
