J.D. Salinger
When I Get Outside
[Intro]
I’m always saying “glad to have met you” to somebody I’m not at all glad I met
If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though

[Verse 1]
What keeps my eye on every predicate is the way he changes clause
Blink to cry and turn around to back into your first chapters
Made in youth to define your ways
'Round this lot we see no change
You are the same as you were

[Chorus 1]
Another example of modern age
Where we find our watch stuck in time

[Verse 2]
Don't tell anyone anything
If you do, you start missing everyone

[Bridge:]
I can't figure out

[Chorus 2]
Another example of modern age
Where we find our watch stuck in time
Here I recite a tried recluse
He's an example
Which presentates
Someone lost with time
How did I get anchored to the past
