lyrics

Turn around and circle back down
Try to catch a final glimpse
Never know til later how badly you missed

At the time the plan made sense
Well, they always do
Or at least they always seem to

I was so voracious back then
Nothing yet had come back to bite me
Writing of the moon and the stars
As if I understood what ceremony was

Never learned what sets ritual apart though
Hey, is that the aura of art, or is it just dust?
Is it language itself, or the part that we can't pronounce
Buried someplace below so deep it gets lost?

Burn a cigarette for me
At least if you still do that kind of thing
I never know for certain
I know vaguely what is happening though

At the time the plan made sense
But back then all I knew was my school district
And now I'm distracted by how things could be different
Seal a cylinder of wax
So call it my casket
And tell them that's how I died
You know I tried to forget you but I know
You'll be the last thing on my mind

Long before we play the record back
I'll take off my shoes and you'll sit in my lap
And I'm often oblivious
To what's on the tip of my lips
I know they don't have a whole lot to say
