She's a jar with a heavy lid
My pop quiz kid, a sleepy kisser, a pretty war
With feelings hid
She begs me not to miss her

She says forever to light a fuse
She says we could use a hand full of wheel and a day off
And a bruised road 
However you might feel, tonight is real

When I forget how to talk, I'll sing
Won't you please bring that flash to shine
And turn my eyes red unless they close when you click
And my face gets sick, stuck like a question unposed

(Chorus)
Just climb aboard the tracks of the train's arm
In my fragile family tree
And watch me floating inches above the people under me

Please beware the quiet front yard
I warned you before there were water skies
I warned you not to drive
Dry your eyes you poor devil

Are there really ones like these?
The ones I dream float like leaves
And freeze to spread skeleton wings
I passed through before I knew you

I believe it's just because Daddy's payday is not enough
Oh, I believe it's all because Daddy's payday is not enough

(Chorus)

She's a jar with a heavy lid
My pop quiz kid, a sleepy kisser, a pretty war
My feelings hid
She begs me not to hit her
