Drips

Well I don’t have your number anymore
You probably changed it anyway
You always were the fastest one around
We had a fight and went our separate ways
But I don’t count the days since you had your
10,000th day
Congratulations
Do you still celebrate your revolution on the cover of the
Rolling Stone

And I’m just painting the drips on the wall
I’m just painting the drips on the wall now
It’s easier than painting the whole wall
I’m meeting all the people in the hall
They say “How are you”

Do you ever think about the past
Do you ever check in with yourself
Walking around wondering who I am
The answer comes in big blobs of red
Dripping to the floor
Congratulations
Do you still celebrate your evolution
With a haircut and one more photo shoot

And I’m just painting the drips on the wall
I’m just painting the drips on the wall now
It’s easier than painting the whole wall
I’m meeting all the people in the hall
They say “Hello”

Sometimes I wonder about change
But change doesn’t wonder about me
So I figure it’s enough to live, do anything at all
We all got stuff to give
Congratulations
You made it through another year of life
Hope you find some piece of mind

And I’m just painting the drips on the wall now
I’m just painting the drips on the wall
It’s easier than painting the whole wall
I’m meeting all the people in the hall
They say “Hello”
