Pick It Up (And Put It Down)

Humming along, home and alone Weaving rivers, unvavering On and on til our days are no more Post pop, post punk, post personal apocalypse Post loves, past friends, post everything Still every now and then I go back to way back when I pick it up And put it down The past is a beast that hides in the darkness, yes Once in a while you gotta let it go Let it be taken over by your wanderlust For after this there may be nothing For after this there may be everything We like to toy with the idea but we don't know What the future brings So we find joy in simple things We pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down We pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down Down na na na na Na na na na Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na I don't wanna go to work, I just wanna get high And stay in bed and sleep and trust the universe will provide Remember you will die Make this an interesting ride And then there was these books I read I made images in my head I didn't know how to get out of these strange new worlds I'd made And then sometimes I watch the news I get this feeling not so confused How you and I are getting used I pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down I pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down Down na na na na Na na na na Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na The secret is to be content right where you are For happiness is fleeting And everything that's been before this is just like a dream So go find joy in simple things Time to put down the fake ideals we've all been fed And the phone calls from your crazy ex Pick it up And put it down Pick it up pick it up pick it up and put it down Pick it up pick it up pick it up and put it down Pick it up pick it up pick it up and put it down Pick it up pick it up pick it up just put it down Down na na na na Na na na na Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
