[Verse 1]
I got bills on the counter
Crumbs in the car
Half-finished coffee
Half-faded star
Keys in the fridge
Phone in the sink
I call it a system
(it’s really just luck, I think)
[Chorus]
My ducks are not in a row
They’re scattered all over this town
One’s in my inbox
One missed the bus
One just keeps letting me down
I don’t know where some of them wandered
I’ve checked every cupboard I own
And I’m pretty sure one of them’s a pigeon
Who moved in
Made itself home
[Verse 2]
Calendar chaos
Colors on fire
Plans on a napkin
Lies I aspire
Saying “I’m fine”
When I’m five days late
Laughing as everything
Slips off my paper plate
[Chorus]
My ducks are not in a row
They’re scattered all over this town
One’s binge-watching something
One’s at a bar
One’s face-down
Lost on the ground
I don’t know where some of them wandered
They don’t even text my phone
And I’m pretty sure one of them’s a pigeon
Strutting like it owns my throne
[Bridge]
Maybe they’re messy
Maybe I am too (yeah)
Maybe that pigeon
Is onto the truth
[Beat drops to snaps and bass]
Life’s not a straight line
It’s feathers and dents
I’ll herd what I can
And forgive the rest
[Chorus]
My ducks are not in a row
They’re dancing in crooked lines
One’s learning juggling
One’s taking naps
One’s writing terrible rhymes
I don’t know where some of them wandered
But maybe that’s fine
Who knows
If one of them’s proudly just a pigeon
Then that’s how my story goes
