Sweater - Told Slant

Talking used to pass the time

And smoking used to pass the time

But talking became a waste of time

And smoking became a waste of time

And my life became a pantomime

Of my life when I liked to be alive

You got a new sweater

But I didn’t know til I saw it in a picture

My life stayed the same

But you wouldn’t know cause I never take pictures

And I don’t understand why you’re living there

And I don’t understand your sweater

Ohhhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhhh

I wanna move to the woods by the side of the highway

Where I can watch the deer spent their last living minutes

But I, I I I, stopped wearing my bomber jacket

When I, I I I, realized that I was little

And I, I I I, stopped wearing my navy peacoat

When I, I I I, realized my thoughts were ugly

And I, I I I, don’t understand your sweater

And I, I I I, don’t understand why you’re living there
