Her wake is pulling me in As the light grows tragically dim And my words like air wearing thin 'cause I don't have what you're needing My heart is barely beating now In circles evading my breath I'm unwound in usual text As the opposite of optimist When my words all slip right through you When I wish they'd sink into you And never let you go No never let you go To ask what purpose is for As my foot slips out of the door Well at least it's been there before 'cause I don't know what you're needing I'm live but barely breathing Instead of climbed I fell Off your carousel So good-bye good luck oh well I'm off your carousel
