How Many Blankets Are In The World?

Everyone everywhere all the time
Waiting on a soft messiah
And everyone everywhere all the time
Waiting on a simple sigh of relief
And if you ever really died
I would be surprised
Life is long long enough to be mean
Life is short short enough to mean something
To those who long those who long for longer
The ebbing of
Your ebullience
Is evidence
In every dent
Come on lets kick
Some car doors in
You’re what I’d hoped
That I’d lost
Your wide eye hope
That I lost
You’re what I really hoped
That I lost
How many blankets are in the world
How many blankets are in the world
And how many blankets have existed
Is there an answer if we can’t have it?
Life is long long enough to be mean
Life is short short enough to mean something
To those who long those who long for longer
«Tonight, tonight» is on
The radio
And it’s 1998
And I’m alone
But if it’s Billy’s song
It’s mine to hold
You’re what I’d hoped
That I’d lost
Your wide eye hope
That I lost
You’re what I really hoped
That I lost
