The Brave Little Abacus
45 Minutes From “Somewhere Out There”
I saw you with ten years past, you didn't seem to know me
Your hands on your sides, you had pride in your new form
And how you noticed me noticing
Big bulging eyes like frogs in the hands of boyhood, boyhood
Big bulging eyes like frogs in the hands of boyhood, boyhood
Big bulging eyes like frogs in the hands of boyhood, boy-
Could you at least stay here with me?
My head fell onto broken down boxes
You're climbing up the stairs, I've lost this
Wait up, wait up
This can't be happening again
I swear I love you, my best friend
Big bulging eyes like frogs in the hands of boyhood
Wake up older and older and older
I was so ready to become
Something I could've never been born
Obesity is something one should never ever think about
You're leaving and I'll retreat to the smallest place I know
And in this, calm down again
I'll probably figure out a plan
That if my stomach feels as upset as me
Then we'll call ourselves a team and dream that
Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me
And loving me tonight
I wasn't born rejected
So I doubt I won't die in the hands of another
But when I speak and am muted
I'm reminded that I'm just a kid, younger brother
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we're wishing underneath the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to know we're sleeping underneath the same bright sky
Somewhere out there
If love can see this through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
