Lyrics

When We Started

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've got this itch I need to scratch

My body's aching like a heart attack

And I was thinking we would make it back

But we're right back to where we started

I've got this thought I need to dream

I've got a song I need to sing

And I was thinking we were doing fine

But it looks like we've run dry out of time

And I wait, and I fell

And I think I'll tell you why I leave to dream alone

I'll sleep a stone

'Cause I've brought shame to your smiling name, to your pride

Don't you trust me, I've got that look in my eye,

And don't you know I'll push you over the side if this ship is sinking before there's land in sight

And I think, and I float

And I'll sink deep below, I think I'll dream alone, I'll sleep a stone,

I'd close my eyes, but we're waking to die, just waiting to die.
