Checker Drive - Intellectual

All well aware of the effort it takes to correct a rash decision;

To correct a really bad mistake

The point I am trying to make

Is one you’re gonna have to sever

From experiences had of late

If we’re being frank, I’m involved half the time

Indirectly there in the other

Day-to-day that is so interwined

Only makes sense that it’d rip apart

But still, everytime I see you cryin’

I can’t help but feel likе dyin’

Sounds rote, sounds suspect, I know

I’m surprising myself by saying

Evеrytime we’re passing by

That shiny phosphorescent sign

It looks a lot like paradise

I’d like that for my own and our own

What say ya? Would you say yeah?

So, fuck those friends that we were

Hangin’ round with last night

Nevermind ‘em, buddy, nevermind ‘em. Nevermind

Pack our possessions in a van and start a new life

We can get it right on Checker Drive, on Checker Drive

Rotary mower versus one with a reel

One of three Home Depots by the house

Waiting for my guts to spill

To some poor unwitting cashier

Or customer service associate

Who takes for granted how the will

Takes hold in remarkable ways

Confusing, hazy, wide tunnel vision

Raw nerve pinched. I’m buying a rake

They found a brain-eating amoeba in the manmade lake

Everytime I’m stagnant or stalling

I get panicky and I solve it

When, by proxy, you go with me, hope it goes alright

And hope you say yeah. What say ya?

Hope you say yeah

All these ideas we were floating ‘round here last night

I kinda like ‘em and I think you also kinda like ‘em

Settling down don’t mean we’re starting up the back nine

Gotta get it right on Checker Drive, on Checker Drive

We gotta get it right on Checker Drive, on Checker Drive

Don’t intend to pry but aren’t you wondering why

The decade passed us by?

In a drone flown ‘bove the plot, we’d spot the warning signs

The circles in the crops check all the boxes

Take the talk offline. Neighbors that we spy on

Say goodbye

So, fuck the hesitations keeping us up last night

Nevermind ‘em, buddy, nevermind ‘em. Nevermind

As if we’re capable of setting down a lifestyle

I think we’ll get it right on Checker Drive, on Checker Drive

We’re gonna get it right on Checker Drive, on Checker Drive

I think we’ll get it right on Checker Drive, on Checker Drive
