How does this always happen
Wish that I could look inside my absent minded map
In the dizzy history of this messy mental trap
There is a thread to unravel countless mysteries
Of my ever missing carabineer of keys
Please, come on, man, you can do better than this
You’d lose your own hands if they weren’t fixed to your wrists
Thirty years of torturing your brain is catching up to you
Now you’re thirty minutes late, tell me what you’re gonna do
(Lucas)
I done lost my keys somewhere today
The recovery mission led me underneath the staircase
Where the machines from an old friends ghost music
Sit wrapped in cables, I still can’t go through it
Probably need to check the laundry basket, rummage through the pockets
The needle in the stuff up in my closet
Flipping couch cushions, pushion out the box spring
No keys, but a whole graveyard of lost things
(Kellen)
What’s this? The license I misplaced in ‘06
Buried here with all the burnt spliffs and guitar picks
Think of all the songs that they never got to play
Lost with all of the good decisions I never made
But, hey, wait, you still got time for redemption
Find your chain of keys, venture forth and get some
Pick up all the pieces of your scattered life so far
The road ahead awaits if you could just get in your car
(Lucas)
God Dammnit. This is getting stupid.
Get your shit together, man, you’re 30 now, Lucas
Too old to be careless and wait for the lessons
Momma always said you should pay more attention
Use to have a house key, now I have a million keys
One for every new layer of responsibility
Always on the go, til I slip to senility
Shit, my drunk ass last night prolly lost them things willingly
(Kellen)
Did I have them at the show, did I drop them on the flo’
Did I leave them in the do’, shit, did I turn off the stove
I don’t think anyone’s home, nobody picks up they phone
Leave a message at the tone, beep, yo
I lost my fucking keys again, man, I swear the fucking vanished
I looked in every nook in the entire fucking planet
You handed them to me after we loaded up the van
Oh, damn, they were right here in my hand
