My Greatest Invention

[Verse 1]

I wonder where you are right now

I guess I always do

People mention you all the time

Without me asking them to

I take the dirt they give me

I put it in the books

I smear around the memories

Until I like how it looks

I get a taste for everything

And then I swallow the hook

[Chorus]

You were the life of the party

Even when you didn't attend

I would get lost telling stories

But I’d always have to change up the end

I'd complete the collection

Of my favorite reflections

With an all-out rejection

Of our true imperfections

You were my greatest invention

[Verse 2]

It's getting hard to keep in order

My different versions of you

Which one's just an answer to a question

Which one is actually true?

You can turn a second inside out

And end up with an eternity

But to polish up a diamond

You have to clear some debris

It doesn't work for everyone

But it works for me

[Chorus]

You were the life of the party

Even when you didn't attend

I would get lost telling stories

But I’d always have to change up the end

I'd complete the collection

Of my favorite reflections

With an all-out rejection

Of our true imperfections

You were my greatest invention

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

You were the life of the party

Even when you didn't attend

I would get lost telling stories

But I’d always have to change up the end

I'd complete the collection

Of my favorite reflections

With an all-out rejection

Of our true imperfections

You were my greatest invention

You were my greatest invention

[Outro]

I wonder where you are right now

I guess I always do
