Should I Eat More Fruit?

from Bird by Bird by Arms & Lanes

lyrics

I don’t want the days to run over hills like wild horses, I’d prefer they come more like a milk jug on my doorstep
I don’t want the days to have the taste of lonely pretzels, I’d prefer the crunch of a tough skin mango
I don’t want the days to be filled with endless longing or regret about what I should have done with my time (instead of sleeping/eating/sleeping/eating/sleeping/eating/sleeping/eating)
I’d prefer to lose myself out on the sidewalk crossing, staring hopefully at the bodega’s worn out awning

The days should have more life than this, they should have more life than this
I prayed to the heavens from a riverbed, help me get somewhere other than my couch

At the store debating between a soda and an orange juice, looking for ways to get my head out of the refuse -
should I eat more fruit?
