Lyric
I fucking love beginnings, flying high
It's hard to know where to start
It's all so fast, I'm trying not to spin
I guess I'm older
And it's harder when you're older to begin
Peeling plaster, sagging roof
Two missing stairs, a buckled wall
I'm fired up to do this
But on my own it all
So much damage, broken windows
Pipes are shit, crap veneer
It's hours later, Jesus, I'm still standing here
Still standing here
But when the sunlight hits the parlor wall at certain times of day
I see how fine this house could be
I see it so damn clear
What's the matter?
Why am I standing here?
Bad foundation, twisting floorboards
Shoddy pipes, gaping hole
It's a lot- it's a lot to keep under control
Something's cracking, something's rotting
Piles of ruin and debris
Killing me, crushing me, pushing me
But when the sunlight hits the parlor wall at certain times of day
I see how fine this house could be
I see it so damn clear
What's the matter?
Why am I standing here?
Dear Al, I'm scared
I had a life I thought I understood
I took it and I squeezed out every bit of life I could
But the edges of the world that held me up have gone away
And I'm falling into nothingness
Or flying into something so sublime
And I'm a man I don't know
Who am I know now?
Where do I go?
I can't go back, I can't find my way through
I might still break a heart or two
But when the sunlight hits the parlor wall at certain times of day
I see how fine this house could be
I see it so damn clear
Oh, my God!
Why am I standing here?
