You Are the Answer to My Security Question

[Intro, spoken]
Hey Danny, called to wish you happy birthday. Happy seventeenth birthday, I hope you have a great day. Um, yeah. Alright, uh, bye!

[Verse]
And I see her bent over a notebook staring hard past her words
Feels like most of the time, I'm only somewhat there
So I might whine about the distance or write up some new fiction
Hope for some condolences while she draws idly
She says to enjoy my little misfires and the fact that I'm alive
I'm sketching dramatics into every line

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not on the right path, just the one of least resistance
And despite this trite existence, I'm getting better all the time
I'm getting better all the time

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
And I want to be scared of the truth in fiction and all of our heartbreak correspondence
'Cause the thought of a fleeting impression, well - it scares me to death
So I might whine about the distance because I care so much I'm sick
And you'll probably just be pissed and I, I didn't even think of it

[Chorus]
I'm not on the right path (I'm not on the right path), just the one of least resistance
And despite this trite existence, I'm getting better all the time
Yet I'm not on the right path (Yet I'm not on the right path), just the one of least resistance
And despite this trite existence, I'm getting better all the time
I'm getting better all the time
