lyrics

How are you today?
How do you like your scrambled eggs and crepes?
Cross my arms and legs
I’m nodding like I hear a word you say

Teleporting now
A family dinner at my parents’ house
It’s a meatloaf day
Does anyone have something new to say?

How are you? How was school?
Nodding slow, her eyes glaze over
Is that all? Pass the salt

Too many plates in the air
Too many mouths to feed
Too many “how are yous” to lie to
Too many answers to believe

I cared when I asked
I didn’t hear the thing you answered back
Sorry I do that
Genetically, i think I move too fast

I’m a fool. How are you?
I won’t mindread this time
Is that it? Pass the chips

Too many plates in the air
Too many mouths to feed
Too many “how are yous” to lie to
Too many answers to believe

Too many closets to clean
The reason this nest is never empty
Grab every box with your name
Go through it again on every holiday
How come it all stays the same
How can it all stay the same?

Over eggs and crepes
I hear you ask “is everything okay?”
Sorry, I went away
How are you today?
