The World Misbehaves

[Verse 1] Your keys in the freezer Your plans in the rain A stray train announcer Saying your name The orange in the alley A bruise on the sky You laughed at the timing Then asked me why [Pre-Chorus] Why this, why now Why that exact turn A sock on the doorknob A lesson unlearned The week goes crooked The corners collide You blink and the whole thing Has shifted aside [Chorus] So sing it back The world misbehaves Sing it back It likes its own ways Tiny collisions Wild little sparks Butterfly receipts In the dark Sing it back The world misbehaves Sing it back And leaves no trade [Verse 2] A ticket in your pocket For nowhere you knew A letter from Monday With Wednesday on through The neighbor’s umbrella Catching your door A laugh in the hallway Then less than before Some things arrive Like a stain or a prayer Too odd to ignore Too precise to prepare [Pre-Chorus] Why this, why now Why the left-hand bend A sudden new pattern Where reason should end The map keeps folding The route won’t stay true And every small accident Leads straight back to you [Chorus] So sing it back The world misbehaves Sing it back It likes its own ways Tiny collisions Wild little sparks Butterfly receipts In the dark Sing it back The world misbehaves Sing it back And leaves no trade [Bridge] Maybe the point Is the point keeps moving A dropped banana A crown in the ruin The universe stutters Then smiles in disguise With twenty false doors And one honest surprise [Chorus] So sing it back The world misbehaves Sing it back It likes its own ways Tiny collisions Wild little sparks Butterfly receipts In the dark Sing it back The world misbehaves Sing it back And leaves no trade
