CRUSHED CANS
Lyrics: B. Johnson
Music: Deja Bru

As I stare at this floor all I can see is the crushed cans
What if they were cars with little people inside of them
And all of these cords are twisted and curved on the floor
What if they were superhighways connecting us to the world

Chorus
What if we changed?
What if we tried?
Could you stand up and feel so alive?
What if we fall?
Could you save us all?
Would those wings be able to lift us in time?
Are you on the outside looking in?
Are you on the outside looking in?

Remember that time down in Biloxi Mississippi?
I thought you might recall that day
We were all alone we were all now swimming
In our own private getaway
Only to find that the stains that surrounded us would never clean

Chorus
What if we changed?
What if we tried?
Could you stand up and feel so alive?
What if we fall?
Could you save us all?
Would those wings be able to lift us in time?
Are you on the outside looking in?
Are you on the outside looking in?

These little crushed cars are backed up in traffic on my floor
Some of them are screaming
Some of them singing with there arms out their doors
They all seem to have some plan or destination
Maybe they’re trying to get back home or out for vacation

What if I screamed?
Would anyone hear me at all?
But if I only had wings I could save myself from a fall
What if we tried?
What if we changed?
I won’t ever leave you in the rain
Are you on the outside looking in?
Are you on the outside
