Motion City Soundtrack - Autographs And Apologies Lyrics

Outline of a storyboard 
With no idea 
Head first in the shallow end 
I apologize if I do not care 

Busy hands keep swimming 
They don't like swallowing 
To the abstract motor, 
Gotta make that motor hum gotta make it run 
Forward seems like forever 
When "ever" is hand over hand over hand 
The busy hands keeps swimming 
Gotta make that motor "hum" 
Get it over and done 

So much for the autographs 
So much for apologies 
So much for promises I never intended to keep 
How does it all add up? 
How does the story end? 
I can't let go 
I can't pretend 

Very I'm so friendly 
Very I'm so Halloween 
So this is what I wanted 
Gotta keep those channels clean 
And other sobering themes 
I'm drowning by numbers 
My halo is bent it's a fat fucking lie 
And so the abstract motor gives in it says, 
"At least I tried. at least I tried.” 

So much for the autographs 
So much for apologies 
So much for promises I never intended to keep 
How does it all add up? 
How does the story end? 
I can't let go
I can't pretend
I can't let go
I can't pretend
