lyrics

I woke up on the edge of the morning
And i nearly fell in
Slid through the day
In my worn out old shorts
Fell asleep in them again

The things that we use feel so useful
When they put us to sleep late at night
But then in the morning
My head isn't up for the fight
And the words we use
When we feel helpless
Never quite capture it right
So you don't have to listen baby
Just hold me is fine

Sale today
Ten til five
Sticks and skates
And old flash drives

Estate sales a few blocks from campus
The gold mines you taught me to see
The treasures passed down
From retirement crowds
To frugal types like you and me

The things on display draw an outline
To strangers and loved ones alike
To take what they see
And ask who it might be
To use all these things for a life

So you pay a bit under the asking
But you make sure to stay in your lane
Cause you could be next
And i could be making the change

Sale today
Ten til five
Stereos
Some hi-fi
I don't wanna think about it

The people we love may still love us
Long after we're all dead and gone
But what else to do with old
Knick-knacks and shoes
But arrange them in rows on the lawn

Post a few signs on the corner
Pick out a few good dates and times
To haggle with strangers
And hope that the weather stays nice

Sale today
Ten til five
Good used suits
Slim in size

I don't wanna think about it
