I’m scared that I’m beginning to think that I don’t need love anymore
Because I had it once, I think, but I forgot what it means
I think that I just may be better off without it
But I am never quite sure of any of my own damn needs.
Well, lately life is getting a little bit more predictable
And if you set it on fire well I would damn call that despicable.
But if you’re gullible like me, well, then the blind dogs they can see
The truth in your eyes, even though you may never fly
And may god strike me down, because on a sunny day, I’m as happy as can be
So please forgive me if I marry the sun
And if you exist and if you and awake, then maybe someday we’ll meet face to face
But I’m still just sleeping like everyone.
Well, lately life is getting a little bit more predictable
And if you set it on fire well I would damn call that despicable.
But if you’re gullible like me, well, then the blind dogs they can see
The truth in your eyes, even though you may never fly
And if I can’t put a finger on it, then how dare I lay one on you?
Being so confused about what is life, what right do I have to drag you down, too?
And lately I’ve trying desperately to contrive a situation where it is appropriate to cry
But, I fear I may be wound too tightly. I gotta leave this town, no time to let it dry.
Oh let it dry, let it dry, oh my why can’t I just tell why I can’t let it dry. Try to dry oh on that drive, a lonely drive, on this crowded night, I wanna let it dry….
Nick is a sweetheart and fellow Pokémon master. I'm consistently impressed by his ability to combine passionate performances with contemplative lyrics. It's like The Mountain Goats but better Jacob Norman Chainsaw-Arm
