Tegan And Sara - Clever Meals lyrics

They aren't desperate for love and affection

They're desperate for you

And as you sit out there all sly and sure

Does anyone think as strongly as you do?

I'm quite sure we'll find one another

In a place that's better than this, a time filled with us

And we send up our shooting stars and comets

Yeah, we make our little gestures

Yes, we make our little comments

This song is my anthem

And it makes up my ideals

And who I am has benefited from all my

Cleverly planned meals

All my cleverly planned meals

I'm stripped and vital and I see rules that almost fit

So if I voice my opinion, would you stay and sit?

And as I stand her screaming in despair

I said yes this is my life and yes you should care

This song is my anthem (close your eyes)

And it makes up my ideals (free your mind)

And who I am has benefited from all my (free to fly)

Cleverly planned meals (to say close your eyes)

All my cleverly planned meals (free your mind, free to fly)

Hardly happy at all and I'm ready to take the fall

'Cause we pay for the stupid things we've done

Where we come from

Can you sit through this or is it going to be too deep?

Will you ever use common sense?

It comes pretty cheap

So if I speak more clearly, if I make more sense

Will you just shut your mouth?

You won't come across quite so dense

And so close your eyes

Free your mind

You're free to fly

Close your eyes

I free my mind

I'm free to fly

I said close your eyes

And may you free your mind

You're free to fly

I said close your eyes

And may you free your mind

You're free to fly

She said close your eyes

And said free your mind

You're free to fly

She said close your eyes

Free your mind

Free to fly

Close your eyes

Close your eyes

I will free your mind

You're free to fly

This song is my anthem

And it makes up my ideals

And who I am has benefited from all my

Cleverly planned meals

All my cleverly planned meals
