Lyrics
Not quite rooted, feeling low
I could have slept away the day
My sky's polluted, grinding slow
My confidence starting to fray
She came in nodding softly, feeling me out
She knew I hadn't gotten much rest
She said, honey, why not have another coffee
And take off some straps?

Our paths may still connect the dots despite
You're blowing like a brass band
In a Mardi Gras, oh

It's gonna take a duet, and perhaps a little more sweat
I said, you may not get it all, but that's alright (that's alright)
You've been feeling kind of frozen
Darling, it's time to thaw
Our paths may still connect the dots despite (that's alright)
You're hitching to a dreamer
With a fatal flaw
We may get all that we're after
But most likely there'll be give and take
Showing patience in our relations
Unveils the preciousness of what's at stake
Yeah!
You may not get it all, but that's alright (that's alright)
You've been trying to brink the ocean with a plastic straw
Our paths may still connect the dots despite (that's alright)
You're blowing like a brass band
In a Mardi Gras, oh, whoo
