Alternative Plans Lyrics

Dreaming of the day
We have some alternative plans
Like holding hands
And staring up
And counting little stars
Smart enough to know
It's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, I never meant to be like this

Stayin' up for days on end
Then sleeping long enough
Wasting all the cash on bets
We're so disorganized

Making up all our own rules
And happy for a while
Failing all the time
No matter how it's justified

Dreaming of the day
We have some alternative plans
Like holding hands
And staring up
And counting little stars
Smart enough to know
It's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, I never meant to be like this

Charging all around the town
And losing all the games
Breaking up the rules we made
We are so unsocialized

Cheating on the brain
We have no answers of our own
Faking all the time
No matter what our hearts desire

Dreaming of the day
We have some alternative plans
Like holding hands
And staring up
And counting little stars
Smart enough to know
It's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, I never meant to be like this

It's always in the cartoons
Nobody really understands me
My heart is made of cardboard
I never thought you'd go away

Stayin' up for days on end
Then sleeping long enough
Wasting all the cash on bets
We're so disorganized

Cheating on the brain
We have no answers of our own
Faking all the time
No matter what our hearts desire

Dreaming of the day
We have some alternative plans
Like holding hands
And staring up
And counting little stars
Smart enough to know
It's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, I never meant to be like this
I'm sorry, I never meant to be like this
