[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
There was music in the mall again
I thought they stopped that
The escalator was working this time
A drink was riding the third step down.
(Nobody noticed.)
That's fine.

I stood still
People passed me by
One looked like you.
But I let it slide.

[Refrain 1]
→ I think this is a test.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
My card declined
I swiped it twice
The clerk said something
I said "That's nice".

Rain came in sideways through the lot
A man with a bag walked through it
The bag tore
He probably said "screw it".
('cause he kept moving)

[Refrain 2]
→ I know it breaks like this on purpose.

[Spoken]
I know the exits used to be here...
I just can't prove it.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Shoelaces untied
I didn’t bend
I rode the down
Up to the end

The lights blinked.
The speakers screamed.
A kid climbed
Into the coin machine.

His mom just stared.
No one asked why.
He disappeared.
I waved goodbye.

[Refrain 3]
→ You’re supposed to watch, not notice.

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
This feels planned
But no one planned it
Why does it feel planned?
Ah, goddammit!

[Instrumental outro]
