Sad To Be Aware - The Posies

Crawling on a hardwood floor

And I’m looking at the adult feet

An infant vision

Thinking about the empty space

Trying to connect the dots

The puzzle pieceing

Are you sad to be aware?

I really couldn’t tell you

Are you happy to be here?

Ask me when I’m older

Sleeping in the other room

And I’m learning how to wet the bed

A childhood flashing

Screaming in the tangled sheets

Falling to the bedroom floor

The basement flooding, flooding

There’s a kid who lives down the block

And he’s dreaming of a loving fix

His name is Michael row the boat ashore

And I met him in the second grade

We were waiting for the cracker bite

His lips were cutting me to tiny bits

Are you sad to be aware?

I really couldn’t tell you

Are you happy to be here?

Ask me when I’m older

And I hope to make amends

Yeah I hope to make amends

I hope to make amends

In the end

In the end

Moving to a bigger town

And I’m living in a carpet box

The landlord foaming

Thinking 'bout the empty heads

Trying to correct the blots

There’s someone living in the alleyway

Are you sad to be aware?

I really couldn’t tell you

Are you happy to be here?

Ask me when I’m older
