Don’t Deconstruct Lyrics by Rilo Kiley

Take Offs and Landings

2001

[Verse 1]
Something is changing inside of me
Colors seem darker in light
And I don't know what that means
But it's not a good sign

[Verse 2]
You can just add 'em up
Then you could memorize prehistoric bones
And all of those old memories
You could push 'em out and prep yourself
For brand new information

[Bridge]
Don't deconstruct and then fill me in
I'm not that basic, I swear
I've had enough of breakdowns and diagrams

[Verse 3]
Judging from picture books
Apparently, heaven is a partly cloudy place
And if the sky opened up
And they let you in and gave you a formal invitation
Would you go?
You can work from home
