about

a little tune about realizing mortality, I suppose :)

lyrics

I’ve got water on the knee, lines upon my face;
Tension in my brow, ‘cause I worry just in case.
I’ve got too much time on my hands, and nothing to do but cry;
I just want to sing along with the band,
and after I can lay down and die.

Help me if I wander, hold me if you please;
and don’t look so damned surprised when you see me on my knees
I feel alone sometimes, but love it when you’re there;
even when you comment on the way I’ve lost my hair.

To look around and wonder - where the time went makes me sigh
I feel as though I’ve woken up and - ten years went by.

I’m looking for relief to satisfy my soul,
searching for that pacify to fill the gaping hole;
Remembering all the dreaming days - asleep, but I could fly.
I feel as though I’ve woken up and - ten years went by.

I’ve got too much time on my hands, and nothing to do but cry.
I just want to play along with the band,
and after I can lay down and die.

Help me if I wander, hold me if you please,
and don’t look so damned surprised when you see me on my knees.
I feel alone sometimes, but love it when you’re there;
even when you comment on the way I’ve lost my hair.

To look around and wonder - where the time went makes me sigh
I feel as though I’ve woken up and - ten years went by.

ten years went by
