Breakfast Menu Conversations

I've lived long enough to know
you can be a lot of people
from one day to the next one
what's your color today?

I've heard of fate you know,
but hold it in disregard
I think it's used as an excuse
to pardon the way we are

We fall in love, we fall out of it
we break things, we wreck shit
aren't people just so suspect?
I can't get enough of them
What will we do next?
what's on the menu for breakfast?
I'll sit at the head of the table
and toast you to that

I want to hear an argument
I have nothing to do with
sometimes I just wonder
if other people fight like me

do I hit below the belt?
I know I can't take what I'm dealt
so I walk out of the room
when it's burning right down

I'm one for a crisis
unless the fingers pointed at me
than I can assure you
I'm nowhere near the scene  

We fall in love, we fall out of it
we break things, we wreck shit
aren't people just so suspect?
I can't get enough of them
What will we do next?
what's on the menu for breakfast?
I'll sit at the head of the table
and toast you to that

The little I've learned from love
is I might actually be dumb
when it comes to things like that
cause I give more than I get back

and think it's all okay
to love someone more than they do you
and just play on through the pain
I wish I knew when to walk away

We fall in love, we fall out of it
we break things, we wreck shit
aren't people just so suspect?
I can't get enough of them
What will we do next?
what's on the menu for breakfast?
I'll sit at the head of the table
and toast you to that

I've lived long enough to know
you can be a lot of people
and I'll toast you to that
