Sometimes I think it's strange I'll never see you Then I realize I've been watching you my whole life In every look I don't recognize Every feature in my face with no relation From my mother's side shows where we came from I was looking so hard I missed the sign That I'd been waiting for An obituary wrote in a local paper From a town that is no more Carrying this around gains nothing But I'm fool enough to care, brave enough to try I tried it You know I tried it I tried it Are you a raw nerve like I am or are you more like The bathrooms in the park? "Closed for the season", every season Seen in the lighter's spark The moment that the world began it's ending Captured by chance on a field recording We caught it It's not important You wouldn't love me Keep out of my way, I'm not in your way You wouldn't love me Descend a marble staircase, slap me in my face I don't know who I am There's a telegraph pole reminds me of you Its shadow against the sky Buzzing in the night but no one gets through No longer on the line Messages unheard are staying that way Bouncing back like echoes in the valley In the valley In the valley You wouldn't love me Keep out of my way, I'm not in your way You wouldn't love me Descend a marble staircase, slap me in my face I don't know who I am I don't know who I am I don't know who I am I don't know who I am
