"Our First Brains" lyrics
I saw the miracle, but it was wasted on me
I couldn't find inside myself to give validity
I never knew which way you turned or what you thought of me
So I peeled away
I peeled away!
I looked into your eyes, the color of your shirt
They match together like the water and the earth
I looked into your heart I hate to say it scared me
So I ran away
Plainly I stay
I ran my way up north!
I listened to too many other laundry headed folk
Do what I can but find I just re-phrase "stretch out and wait"
The spider moves across the grain of the apartments paint
I fall asleep with the TV on!
All of the friends that I have left to go on tour
They do not miss me, seem like strangers at the door
I feel so shaky, feel my good blood going bad
I eat some more
I sleep some more
I smoke some more
Put a pillow on the floor!
And looking into my dark bits, I found something out
Not a melody or riddle or lyric
Not exactly some new hell
Houses get built on the east coast
I feel away
My heart I crave!
I looked into a miracle and saw somebody else
Into a miracle, I think, but really couldn't tell
I never thought I could be happier then I was then
But things they do change
Things they do change!
Going to mini-golf your head was on my lap
Backseat to Wilsonville you leaned to take a nap
I saw a beauty knew I'd never quite exceed
So in my head I just went dry
My chest I just got high
And that was the end of that!
I saw the miracle squinted in its eye
If this is fiction, which figment am I?
I don't know why I'm growing old
What point this is serving?
What love to behold and I sing
I won't get married
I don't wanna get married
I won't perpetuate that crooked tongue of legacy
I don't wanna get married
Love is just so scary
She's like blah, blah, blah
Shakes hands with ha, ha, ha!
Break the loop
Calm down and see
I don't need you to coddle, con, or take care of me
But when you smile you did something to my insides
For what it's worth, you were great company in good times
When you smiled
I'd feel okay!
I'd feel okay!
I'd feel like I did something with my day!
I couldn't find inside myself to give validity
I never knew which way you turned or what you thought of me
So I peeled away
I peeled away!
I looked into your eyes, the color of your shirt
They match together like the water and the earth
I looked into your heart I hate to say it scared me
So I ran away
Plainly I stay
I ran my way up north!
I listened to too many other laundry headed folk
Do what I can but find I just re-phrase "stretch out and wait"
The spider moves across the grain of the apartments paint
I fall asleep with the TV on!
All of the friends that I have left to go on tour
They do not miss me, seem like strangers at the door
I feel so shaky, feel my good blood going bad
I eat some more
I sleep some more
I smoke some more
Put a pillow on the floor!
And looking into my dark bits, I found something out
Not a melody or riddle or lyric
Not exactly some new hell
Houses get built on the east coast
I feel away
My heart I crave!
I looked into a miracle and saw somebody else
Into a miracle, I think, but really couldn't tell
I never thought I could be happier then I was then
But things they do change
Things they do change!
