Fan Theory

all the girls in the typing pool can’t wait to give their opinions
on the whispers that filter in through the executives’ minions
a memo finds its way from the mail room into a desk drawer
RE: romance blooming up on the seventeenth floor
the phone operators find their eyeballs all drawn to the door
searching for an inkling of winks as we pass in the corridor
admiringly they discuss our special flair for concealing
what they guess must be a fabulous depth of feeling
but in fact our relationship barely amounts to an ounce
of a hunch between maureen and rory down in accounts
and despite the consensus it fills me with regret
to inform you that we’ve hardly actually met
the gossip makes the day a little less dreary
but she and me, we’re merely a weak fan theory
the source of the rumours: a christmas do where I kissed her
but she’s secretly seeing her superior’s little sister
in fact we’ve only spoken once since that fateful night
when she told me to back off, and I said: “alright”.
but a love affair needs more than the combined forces
of just susan, les and paul in human resources
despite the consensus it fills me with regret
to inform you that we’ve barely actually met
the gossip makes the day a little less dreary
but she and me, we’re merely a weak fan theory
the gossip makes the day a little less dreary
but she and me, we’re merely a weak fan theory

Four Corners

you can’t find your direction
you’re all over the map
you thought you had it figured out
but fell into a trap
you mixed up things you didn’t need
with things that your life lacked
lets put you back together
get your life back on track
you used to be so confident
now you're always changing your mind
if you need a confidante
i can always spare the time
to hear you explain
the pain
of how you lost it
again
and ended up broken hearted
you turned four corners
and ended up back where you started
you didn’t know where you were headed
but you sped up anyway
you shut your eyes, and when they opened
it was yesterday
you say you don’t know where you’re going
you say your life’s a mess
lets find a new destination
reset your gps
