It Was Just a Plastic Bag Full Lyrics

[00:00.10] With paper bag [00:01.42] I was in my father's car, we're driving to the grocery store [00:06.83] And, this is an idea -like, how long it takes me to even- deal with writing a song [00:12.58] It's a- this was during the recording of the first album [00:17.16] And I was miserable, haha [00:19.65] And it was like a Saturday, and my dad and I were driving to the grocery store [00:24.01] And I was just chilling, sitting, sulking in [00:27.80] And I looked up into the sky, and I saw this in- this white dove [00:33.53] And I thought, you know- I have, like- I have incredible- I used to have terrible problem with, um [00:39.89] Everything wasn't simple to me, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and it was way in full swing then [00:46.25] So like- everything that I saw meant, you know, life or death [00:52.32] So I look up into the sky, and I'm sulking and I see this white dove [00:56.52] And I thought, "Oh I, okay, everything's okay" [00:59.62] I mean, I swung way up to this high [01:01.80] And I was like, "Oh that's great, everything's all over white dove" [01:04.97] And it really start falling, and it was- it was just a plastic bag. It was a plastic bag [01:09.75] And it so creepy, and I was just dropped again. But then it was stuck in the head, and then, later on [01:16.35] You know, that was, kind of like- "Oh, there it is, the rule of my life", you know [01:20.82] That it- it always looks like it's gonna be something great, but then it just a damn plastic bag [01:26.56] But you know, and I made paper bag- because paper bag sounds better, um [01:31.40] And I didn't- and I just thought of that, and that image always stayed in my head [01:35.28] And it didn't make any sense in my life, until, years later [01:40.27] And then, you know, I grabbed it from the back of my head and made a song out of it [01:44.58] But lots of time that kind of stuffs happen weren't right, you know [01:47.35] I'll notice something, and then I'll ignore it, and then [01:50.18] It'll come back at some point [01:51.92]
