Agua

[Verse 1]
Everybody's the protagonist
In their own life, so when they look back at it
They never seem to be just a piece of scenery
Or a conveniently placed extra for some shot they can't see
But not me, I play the background
Lately I wanna see the way that people act out
When no ones really looking, how they play the star
In the train car or at the bar. It's so bizzare
How we never consider that we could be a minor player
The aid to the city's mayor where Batman is the savior
The friend of the sister who only gets a single line
I find that I'm inclined to rely on this state of mind sometimes
To see the day from different angles
Perspective is strangled when we forget the triangle
Between us, environment, and everybody else
When we just think about ourselves

[Chorus]
When I think I just think about me (me me)
And when you think you just think about you (you you)
Maybe one day we could think about we (we we)
I'm not so sure that it could ever be (be be)

[Verse 2]
The other week I had a bad day
Snapped at the dude at the laundromat over small change
Told him to fuck off, but then it kept me up late
My hate was misdirected, I reckon he was so frustrated
His day could have been worse, tired from work
And then I treat him lower than dirt. That shit hurts
When you realize that real life don't revolve around you
I feel like it's fear why we need a resounding
Feeling of importance, so we contort events to match our story
Pouring rain on my big day, I must say poor me
A traffic jam when I needed to get through
And I'm pretty sure the sun sets for me and not you
The truth is, it's hard to see beyond the daily
Struggle and pursuit of happiness, it's kind of lazy
To believe that individual recognition is critical
When maybe collaboration would make us less miserable
