MODEST MOUSE Missed The Boat While were on the subject Could we change the subject now? I was knocking on your ears door but you were always out Looking towards the future We were begging for the past Well we knew we had the good things But those never seemed to last Oh please just last Everyones unhappy Everyones ashamed Well we all just got caught looking At somebody elses page Well nothing ever went Quite exactly as we planned Our ideas held no water But we used them like a dam Oh, and we carried it all so well As if we got a new position Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell Saying yes, this is a fine promotion Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell Of course everyone goes crazy Over such and such and such We made ourselves a pillar We just used it as a crutch We were certainly uncertain At least Im pretty sure I am Well we didnt need the water But we just built that good God dam Oh, and I know this of myself I assume as much for other people Oh, and I know this of myself Weve listened more to lifes end gong Than the sound of lifes sweet bliss Was it ever worth it? Was there all that much to gain? Well we knew we missed the boat And wed already missed the plane We didnt read the invite We just dance at our wake All our favorites were playing So we could shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Tiny curtains open and we heard the tiny clap of little hands A tiny man would tell a little joke and get a tiny laugh from all the folks Sitting drifting around in bubbles and thinking it was us that carried them When we finally got it figured out that we had truly missed the boat Oh, and we carried it all so well As if we got a new position Oh, and we owned all the tools ourselves But not the skills to make a shelf with Oh, what useless tools ourselves
