lyrics

WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

Raúl was drifting into space
When he turned off his little screen
Far off look upon his face
And one that I’ve so often seen

He said that’s how they say
That dreams go down
Get stripped away and come apart
But do they really matter
To me now?
Those cryptic matters of the heart

(Chorus) What am I gonna do
With my life?
What am I gonna do?

Janet wiped the tables down
Swept the dirty kitchen clean
And you could hardly hear a sound
Save for the hum of some machine

She comes across those crumbs called memories
Thinks how the days pass like the clouds
Says I can’t pretend those changes don’t change me
I’ll sing the quiet part out loud:

(Chorus) What am I gonna do
With my life?
What am I gonna do?

Graham grinds those days with grit and gratitude
The humdrum mind-numb of routine
But seldom speaks in more than platitudes
And returns scrolling on his screen

(Chorus)
