Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in Didn't plan it, didn't plan it Different planets stare down on us Never blinking, sort of winking Indifferent as deceiving Observing that we're kneeling in the sands, building plans Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in I've been sitting in the stove 'Cause outside it's sure been cold The garbage can's refrigerated Since that's where the food goes Making plans, making plans, making plans Wooden soldiers storm through burning buildings On the top floor lives the zoo king's neckties Preventing them from breathing Oh, it's such a fuzzy feeling Oh, such a fuzzy feeling, making plans Gasoline flows out the ends of matchsticks used as pens And I've been writing some pretty big checks with them I gave the boat a persons name So when it sinks I'll know who to blame The tiger isn't tame But it's toothless just the same Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in Making plans, making plans, making plans Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in Making plans These fuckers wanted guilt They tore me down, and I rebuilt Much better, oh, much better than before In India they make mugs, you throw them down They turn to mud, pull it out And make them as they were before Since we shop at the same store But hate each other at the core And neither one is getting a fair deal Sell it all on sex appeal How you currently feel Don't need any, just buy one The second one will be a steal Hashtagging, photo bragging No one's even sort of real No wonder no one feels better than before Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in Making plans, making plans, making plans Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in Making plans Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in Making plans Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in Making plans It's level at the peak Our words don't speak Calm down, retreat Me just being here now is enough for me It's level at the peak Our words don't speak You just being here, being you is enough for me You just being here, being you is enough for me It's level at the peak Find your breath, don't speak Just being here, me and you is enough for me Just being here, me and you is enough for me It's level at the peak Even death just may not be We'll cross that bridge sometime and see But just being here now is enough for me Just being here now is enough for me Just being here now is enough for me Just being here now is enough for me Just being here now is enough for me
