Parquet Courts
Watching Strangers Smile
[Verse 1]
Watching strangers smile
Never knew it was a privilege
Until the wide fearful eyes was all I saw
Filling out forms as the hold music loops
Now I've been trapped inside for weeks on end
My knees, my back, my brain all start to bend
[Verse 2]
City music makes me want to lose my mind
Like when it taunts me through the bite of summer evenings
Walk out the door to the store, buy a beer
And I'm so paranoid my mask will slip
I just can't seem to get a goddamn grip, a grip, a grip
[Bridge]
Do you think about luck and let her
Make the effort that you won't?
Do you have 20/20 vision?
I don't
[Instrumental Outro]
