Lyrics
The VFW hall off Route 66
Smells like coffee that's been on since six.
Mr. Abernathy's holding the floor,
His silver ring taps out the score
On a Formica table, worn down to the grain.
[Chorus]
Some people are an asymptote,
A line your life gets awful close
But you never cross, 'cause heaven knows
It's a proof with the final step missing.
[Verse 2]

He said, "Your grandad, son, he could make anything grow."
Now he's proving a point I already know,

[Chorus]
Some people are an asymptote,
A line your life gets awful close
But you never cross, 'cause heaven knows
It's a proof with the final step missing.

Just trying to figure the variables out.
[Chorus]
'Cause people are an asymptote,
A line your life gets awful close
But you never cross, 'cause heaven knows
It's a proof with the final step missing.
(Music fades to atmospheric texture for 4 seconds)
[Outro]
He just smiles, and I just mend the fence.
