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
