10,000 claps
10,000 claps for me
10,000 cats
10,000 cats for me
Seasonal change, stars rearrange
Kissing my grave
Why are you bothering me?

10,000 rats
10,000 rats to meet
Standing in line
One at a time, for me
Sparkling night
Sharpening knives
Parallel lines
Taking up all of my time

Wishing away
Robbing my stones
Kissing my grave
When can you take me back home?

    Sounds like the song is narrated by someone who is weary of touring and being on the road. More generally, the lyrics speak of being bored with life and the superficial novelties of a well-established routine, to the point of wanting to die. Better to die (go home) than become a crazy cat lady (or artist) who only watches time pass - I'm not sure if that is Phantogram intended for this song but that's what I get out of it lol.
