lyrics

Another quarter-mile or so until we make it
Another quarter-year or so until we break
But I’m staring out the window
At a world that just won’t end
Wondering how much more I’ll force myself to take

Oh, there is comfort in confusion and collision
There’s an old familiar tune that I can’t place
So I hide myself behind it
Though some days I just can’t find it
When the shadows grow and dance across my face

And if you could see me now
How would you find me?
Another circumstance who’s
Out of your control?
Do I take these things to rend me
Or remind me?
To pick me up
Or put me in a hole?

It’s a shame the laughter faded after sunrise
When old friends feel brand new and new the same
And all these second-guessings
Are they curses? Are they blessings?
That we never seem to call it out by name

And if you could see me now
How would you find me?
Another circumstance who’s
Out of your control?
Do I take these things to rend me
Or remind me?
To pick me up
Or put me in a hole?

And if you could see me now
How would you find me?
Another circumstance who’s
Out of your control?
Do I take these things to rend me
Or remind me?
To pick me up
Or put me in a hole?
To pick me up
Or put me in a hole?
