Variations On A Theme (plane Crash In C) Lyrics - Take Offs And Landings - Rilo Kiley

if you're scared and it shows cause you're watching them grow 

and traveling blows when you're out of road 

and when you jump up the earth wants you back 

your resentment grow till you're all alone 

but you're so smart how could they not know 

when you're standing there in good humored white 

and how do you do it? 

and make it seem effortless 

when its all the stupid things 

so overwhelming to me 

like paying my bills 

or showing up for work early 

or laughing at your jokes 

when you first said that anything goes 

or a problem is a task disguised in work clothes 

that's when i knew i had to move 

and why do you do it? 

and make it seem delicate 

when its all the stupid things 

so damn confusing to me 

like talking it through 

controlling my temper 

like letting it go 

saying please forgive me 

or laughing at your jokes 

i have no idea what's been going on lately 

and i just wish you'd come over and explain things 

and i have no idea what's been going on lately 

and i just wish you'd come over and explain things 

i have no idea what's been going on lately 

and i just wish you'd come over and explain things 

i have no idea what's been going on lately 

and i just wish you'd come over and explain things 

why do they do it? 

show up anyway 

when they know that damn well 

there is no room for promotions out here 

and maybe it's wise 

and maybe i'm just stupid 

for laughing at your jokes
