lyrics

(mm, mm)

Nothing happened today and that is the report
I got up late enough that morning was already over
Ate something standing up, which does not count as eating
(count as eating)
Made a list. Did not do the list. Rewrote the list.

Everybody wants a story (a story)
There is no story, there is a Tuesday, repeatedly

Nothing happened today
(today, today)
And somehow I'm exhausted from it
Nothing happened today
Which is the hardest kind of day to explain

My friend asked what I'd been up to and I panicked
Invented a small event so the sentence had a shape
Lied about a coffee I did not have with a person I did not see
(did not see)
Just to give the conversation somewhere to stand

I'm not depressed, I checked, there's a form for it.
I filled it in honestly and scored "mild".
Mild is such an insulting word for this.
(BASS RETURNS)

Nothing happened today
(today, today)
And somehow I'm exhausted from it
Nothing happened today
Which is the hardest kind of day to explain

(nothing happened...)
