I Would Have Changed My Plans by The Small Calamities Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw a sign today advertising discounts: LA to San Francisco
And  I could find a way to fit my life packed tightly in the back
I  know you don't like metaphors…
It was literally a sign

[Chorus 1]
But how could I think I was anything besides a convenient waste of time?
But  I would have changed my plans for you
I  would have changed my plans for you

[Verse 2]
There was a day last June, I drove out to SoMa and took tours of an apartment…
I  didn't tell you that, but we were never too fond of the truth
I know you don't like metaphors…
It was a literal apartment

[Chorus 2]
And how could I think I was anything besides a stepping stone for you on your way to show everyone all you need is you?
But  I would have changed my plans for you
I would have changed my plans for you
[Verse 3]
You should go someplace where it's never raining and trees aren't all on fire
'cause now I'm half asleep but when I wake up we will both be thirty
I know you don't like metaphors but do your best to work that out

[Chorus 3]
How could I think you were anything besides a shelter from the rain?
But I would have changed my plans for you
I would have changed my plans for you
I would have changed my plans
