[Verse 1]
I've been missin' the keys that move my boat
Tore up the house and all my coats
Pockets of lint and sticky notes
Found a note with the penmanship of my
Interconnected other life
Overprotected by design
[Chorus]
Shoppin' list for the garden
God, she's working so hard and
Tend to all of the flowers
She's been at it for hours
I'm here stuck on an island
Tortured by all the silence
Water runs to my feet and catch my toes
Missin' the keys that move my boat
[Verse 2]
Out in the open-ended sea
No one to listen when I speak
Cuppin' my words, parentheses
How did she find a pen among the noise?
Life full of plasticated toys
All just for dinner with the boys
[Chorus]
Shoppin' list for the garden
God, she's working so hard and
Tend to all of the flowers
She's been at it for hours
I'm here stuck on an island
Tortured by all the silence
Water runs to my feet and catch my toes
Missin' the keys that move my boat
