lyrics

I started down the stairs before I became aware of what awaited me when I got down there. Even when I think about it, and I try not to think about it, I don't really care.

I'm too depressed to know my own heart, not depressed enough to make good art, I hope God or whoever knows what the hell he's doing. When I see you I'll try to explain, you'll look at me and your face will be blank. I swear, your eyes could kill me.

Where would we be, where would we be, where would we be if we were never we?

I guess what I never knew is hindsight offers a pretty good view, but I was among the clouds when I was with you. My life's a funny parable, a really fucked up miracle. I'm stuttering, trying to explain the way I feel. I always have, and I probably always will.

I don't know much, but I know that sometimes you've got to leave so that you can come back.
