The United States of Almost

It’s so easy to forget what you want When a stranger’s longing’s more fun to watch When the premiere is whenever you’re free Let the mirror chew the scenery Laughing as our leaders choke The United States of Almost I’ll be dancing in the endzone Long after the game ends Think I’ll manage the same way I always have Another town went boom then bust Now our uncle is no longer with us My mother nearly drove off a bridge Thank God she took a detour His wake felt lighter than air Domestic beer and awkward stares People asking me how long its been? They count on their fingers Think we’ll manage the same way we always have
