Telethon Checker Drive
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, f..ck 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
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, f..ck 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
