Booster Seat

I'm moving through the night

My soul's just a container

I can't tell you what I'll write

They're words without the paper

Take my ego for a drive

Leave it out at the 110 sign

In the kitchen after five

In the hallway before nine

And if it wasn't for that time in the taxi

When you called it out, you said it was anxiety

Well, you held me from the back of the front seat

And you told me all the times that you'd lied to me

Well, I felt like a kid, like I could touch my feet

As they hovered above the ground in my booster seat

Oh-oh-oh

Well, it feels like that again

Drink a jar of mind eraser

Feel it burn and watch it glow

All my friends on a retainer

And I'm almost out of dough

And if it wasn't for that time in the taxi

When you called it out, you said it was anxiety

Well, you held me from the back of the front seat

And you told me all the times that you'd lied to me

Well, I felt like a kid, like I could touch my feet

As they hovered above the ground in my booster seat

Oh-oh-oh

Well, it feels like that again

Oh, I'm waiting for it patiently

My unmarked grave, my salty sea

In my pants too short, in my shame up to my knees

In a wave of guilt I roll, and in a hurricane I breathe

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And if it wasn't for that time in the taxi

When you called it out, you said it was anxiety

Well, you held me from the back of the front seat

And you told me all the times that you'd lied to me

Well, I felt like a kid, like I could touch my feet

As they hovered above the ground in my booster seat

Oh-oh-oh

Well, it feels like that again
