[Intro] the people upstairs got a new vacuum I know because they’ve used it every day good for them [Verse 1] there’s a guy at the bus stop with one glove on he keeps checking the other pocket like the second one’s gonna appear it doesn’t bus comes he gets on there’s probably a lesson there but I’m not qualified the laundromat changed its sign from OPEN 24 HOURS to just OPEN feels more realistic somebody left a fitted sheet going around by itself in dryer six twenty-three minutes left no witnesses [Verse 2] the woman downstairs gets groceries every Wednesday same two paper bags same box of something frozen sticking out the top she holds the door with her foot while she finds her keys every Wednesday I’ve never helped not because I’m terrible I’ve just always noticed about three seconds too late and by then it would be weird so next Wednesday probably [Hook] things keep happening nothing major the light turns green somebody doesn’t notice a dog waits outside the pharmacy like it has an appointment someone laughs two apartments over can’t hear what they said just the part where it worked [Verse 3] there’s a shopping cart behind the building it’s been there long enough that nobody questions it one wheel points east the others have accepted this there’s a coffee cup in the little seat rainwater couple leaves somebody wrote DAN on the side I don’t know Dan but his cup’s doing okay better than you’d expect [Verse 4] the kid across the street learned how to ride a bike his dad stopped holding the seat about halfway down the sidewalk kid didn’t notice dad did he just stood there with both hands still out for a second then put them in his pockets kid made it to the corner almost hit a trash can didn’t kept going [Hook] things keep happening nothing major somebody burns dinner opens a window a plane goes over nobody looks up the pharmacy dog is gone now I assume the appointment went well someone upstairs drops something heavy then nothing then the vacuum [Bridge] the streetlight came on before it got dark just slightly early like showing up to a party before they finish setting out chairs it stayed on nobody told it [Verse 5] there’s one apartment with the curtains always open not in a creepy way you can just see the television changing colors on the wall blue white orange blue again somebody walks past comes back with a glass sets it somewhere I can’t see and that’s it that’s the whole thing I watched anyway [Outro] the people upstairs stopped vacuuming either they’re finished or it broke … actually there it is good for them
