fishboy - researching writer lyrics

Loading...

someday i’d like to write
an epic story describing life
with intersecting storylines
nonlinearly ordered then combined

but my life’s nothing new
i rarely leave my living room
and so i’ve got no point of view
worth anything or anybody’s time

but that’s alright
it could be worse
all it takes is some research
after months of heavy work
i think my narrator’s a nurse
she’s strong but shy

and my sister who takes pictures well
convinces me of a lie to tell
i sneak in to a hospital
with a fake badge she created
so i imitate and i observe
pretending i’m a licensed nurse
i’ll leave no single stone unturned
as i research just exactly what it’s like

i will do the research
i will do my homework
a cat on the fence
scratching its chin
on every bare winter limb in the yard

one day
a doctor spies
me in the hall, we both lock eyes
i nervously apologize
then he asks if we can go out on a date
i say i may as well
research something i’ve never felt
he’s got a smile like a roosevelt
uncomfortable
and wide

and so i try for months to see
if this love is what i need
but it’s not love and awkwardly
we now sit across from each
other tonight

but mostly i’d just like to write

someday
