lyrics
I shorted the mains today, and yesterday i biked to a place that i didn't know
but i still came home the same
"I thought i'd learned from my mistakes, I thought you'd given me the right advice"
and there was a three-week period where I didn't try to impress you
I read some poems a girl i don't know very well wrote about me
or a stanza of one poem, rather
I knew a long time ago the world was based on an equation
but we could never see what was on the other side of the wall
And I don't know why i love the size in silence
it's never helped me
and though I didn't say it, "I will create myself in public"
because those are the best lines about warmth i ever read
and each year i build on top of the one that came before it
something like years would build
to explain why he could never have the girl of his dreams when he wanted her
but could have her any time she didn't
you told me to read a biography of chopin
but I spent the time i would have been doing that reading schematics for things i never built
It's funny that you're one of the things i've never managed to fail with
with fire.
