In a perfect world 
Where every headline reads “we laughed about it” 
And your mother sees through each moment And your eyes watch the screen 
Cause ceremony makes things look right 
In your childhood home, 
Father watching static 
And your brother phones 
Says he won’t be home for dinner 
Calling it back 
Cause even when i close my eyes i see it 
Turn your back 
On the world and then it turns its back on you 
In your small garage 
Car engine running old memories 
It’s the only thing 
That can lull you to sleep
