Laura Jane Grace - Calendar Song Lyrics

The Calendar Song

Wish I was going someplace tropical
Wish I was going to Portugal
I want to walk the streets of Oporto
I want to be someone that I don't know

Floating blind on a highway bed
Sleep speeding towards oblivion
Lay me down in a sea of dreams
Take me away from where I've been

Obelisk overlooking thee
Dirty river smells chemical sweet
Sun shines down on Glasgow greens
Feel the future coming fast towards me

Northern soul on a midnight boat
Play the slots, hope to win your wants
I'm thinking about jumping overboard
I take you with me everywhere I go

Crossing days of a calendar map
How long you been gone?
How long you got left?
Only a fool would live their life like that
Only a fool would live their life like that

Crossing days of a calendar map
How long you been gone?
How long you got left?
Only a fool would live their life like that
Only a fool would live their life like that

Waste your days counting what you've got left
What you never had and what you'll never get back
Only a fool would live their life like that
