Meaning of the Band

Won’t you tell me the meaning of the band?
It’s an esoteric fact.
It’s all I ever grasped.

You taste only lilac, I taste fern.
That T-shirt never learns
That it’s all I ever spent.

Then I’ll leave and I will not be found,
On a clipper ship to common ground.
I turn around, swaying down, looking deep.

They’re casting lots in California sand.
“A year or more,” they said,
And it’s all I ever planned.

‘Cause it’s small to softly sing that bar like sin.
He says “out,” I say “in,”
And I shut him out again.

Won’t you tell me the meaning of the band?
It’s an esoteric plan.
It’s all I ever had.

People leave when they were never held
By the indeterminate bell.
I keep my girl up to date on dawning praise.

Won’t you tell?

Then I’ll leave and I will not be found,
On a clipper ship to common ground.
I turn around, swaying down, looking deep.
I turn around, swaying down, looking deep.
