Geography of the Moon - Pick It Up (And Put It Down) Lyrics

Humming along, home and alone
Weaving rivers, unvavering
On and on til our days are no more
Post pop, post punk, post personal apocalypse
Post loves, past friends, post everything
Still every now and then
I go back to way back when
I pick it up
And put it down
The past is a beast that hides in the darkness, yes
Once in a while you gotta let it go
Let it be taken over by your wanderlust
For after this there may be nothing
For after this there may be everything
We like to toy with the idea but we don't know
What the future brings
So we find joy in simple things
We pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down
We pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down
Down na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
I don't wanna go to work, I just wanna get high
And stay in bed and sleep and trust the universe will provide
Remember you will die
Make this an interesting ride
And then there was these books I read
I made images in my head
I didn't know how to get out of these strange new worlds I'd made
And then sometimes I watch the news
I get this feeling not so confused
How you and I are getting used
I pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down
I pick it up, pick it up, pick it up and put it down
Down na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
The secret is to be content right where you are
For happiness is fleeting
And everything that's been before this is just like a dream
So go find joy in simple things
Time to put down the fake ideals we've all been fed
And the phone calls from your crazy ex
Pick it up
And put it down
Pick it up pick it up pick it up and put it down
Pick it up pick it up pick it up and put it down
Pick it up pick it up pick it up and put it down
Pick it up pick it up pick it up just put it down
Down na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
