Crazy Arm - White Canyon lyrics

[Verse 1] So I kept my curtains closed through the summer Because the room would become too bright And I kept my thoughts to myself through the summer Because you wouldn't comprehend the beginning or the end And I wanted to get up, but I just couldn't get up And I wanted to run but my legs weren't there Yeah I wanted to get up, but I just couldn't get up And I wanted to run by my mind was scared Speaking one's thoughts can ruin the effect Of wanting to appear circumspect [Chorus] Them's the breaks, the pains and the aches The strikes and gutters Them's the breaks, the give and the takes And what doesn't matter, them's the breaks [Verse 2] So I tried to hibernate through the winter Because there's always someone knocking on your door And I kept my nose clean through the winter Because there's not much solace in the drunken dark And I wanted to leave, but I just couldn't leave And I wanted to give but they always want more Yeah I wanted to leave, but I just couldn't leave And I wanted to give but they always take more Drinking 'til you drop can ruin the effect Of wanting to maintain self-respect [Bridge] Can't stand in the white canyon Can't stand in the white canyon Can't stand in the white canyon Can't stand in the white canyon [Outro] So I closed my eyes and sweated it out On the boats and the asphalt and the tiles And I called everybody that I know In the hope that they would stir my soul
