"the view" lyrics

So long, subtle alien vibes
Think I've been making progress in microscopic strides
So don't ask, 'cause I never could tell
All I need is four walls to make it my own hell

Hell yeah, so what?
Watch an optimist drink half-empty cups
Well I'll grow, we'll see
If there's something good in me

My eyes lit up when I saw it
A way out of looking for everything I wanted
My eyes lit up when I saw it
The view from where you sit
And apathy, I was in love with it

So long, narrow hollowing road
Thinking I'm turning back, it's the only way I knew

And it shows for so long
Turning half rights into full-on wrongs
Oh fuck, I'm gone
Another 4 AM song

My eyes lit up when I saw it
A way out of looking for everything I wanted
My eyes lit up when I saw it
The view from where you sit
And apathy, I was in love with it
And apathy, I was in love with it

But not as much as the phone ringing
Not as much playing my house
Not as much as the way her goddamn voice sounds
It's like taking in sun
And then taking it back
I fall into old habits
I'm stepping over your cracks again

My eyes lit up when I saw it
A way out of looking for everything I wanted
My eyes lit up when I saw it
The view from where you sit
And apathy, I was in love with it
And apathy, I was in love with it
