about

I was driving to New York every other weekend throughout 2017. On one of my visits earlier in the year, I went to a museum with a friend and I heard some people talking to each other in the lobby about Trump. I recorded their conversation and those are the voices at the end of the song. There's something about the way they're not really talking to each other that I cannot get over.

lyrics

Buy a house, fill it up
Need the storage, drive a truck
Meet the neighbor, meet his wife
Meet the family--they are very kind
We are happy, lovingly
Make it work: honesty
On the weekends in the yard
Rest of my life
Tell your mama, tell your pa
I am happy, have a job
Need to thank them for all of their silverware

Met your family years ago
Trusted man, trusted soul
Me and your dad talking sports
Me and your mom, tennis courts
Up in bed I lay awake
Down below me, wedding cake in the freezer out of sight
Rest of my life
Tell your mama, tell your pa
In a bad mood, took a walk
On my mind out in the air:
Silveware

Lots of children, all the love
Second thoughts from God above
I'm a husband in my head
I'm a neighbor, I'm a friend
I'm a father left for dead
I'm a failure in my head
Rest of my life
Tell your mama, tell your pa
I am happy now
Smell of polish in the air
Silveware
