Speechwriters Llc Exchange Rates Lyrics

I could write a hit song
I could write a love song
I could write the best song

Nothing lasts forever
No one knows the weather, do they
Channel 3 they say it's gonna rain

But we could stuff pillows under covers
We could drive until we're out of gas

No one dreams the big dreams
And helium balloons don't fly anymore
'Cause they could kill a bird out there

Everything is statistics
Everything has factors figured in
You're probably doing the right thing

But we could forge notes from both our parents
We could cross an ocean in a night

Don't leave me here
To mark my time with credit card statements
And tickertape day parades
Don't leave me here
To calculate the rate of exchange
Of the things that you gave to me

Gravity's a killer Nothin lasts forever does it
We were born to breakdown

You were just a stranger
You were just a stranger I happened to know
Now everything is broken

But we could build a fortress in the forest
We could stop the mortar shells of life

Don't leave me here
To mark my time with credit card statements
And tickertape day parades
Don't leave me here
To calculate the rate of exchange
Of the things that you gave to me

I guess growing old
Means doing what you're supposed to do
Slowly growing cold
To everything that burned in you

Don't leave me here
To mark my time with credit card statements
And tickertape day parades
Don't leave me here
To calculate the rate of exchange
Of the things that you gave to me
