The American Scene - The View From Here lyrics

I wanted you to know that your impression still holds my heart in place As I step outside an ever watchful sense of pride I wanted you to find some secret you had pressed behind your eyes Night after night as we undressed under a blackout blanket sky I pulled this all apart for you To spin it back into something time and better judgment couldn't undo I've been down to the bottom of everything And I'll be around when your grip slips and you do the same I wanted you to say not to worry, there was nothing to explain But every batting lash and borrowed pa**ion wouldn't last I poured out my pride for you, over this bed where we prayed but nothing ever grew I've been down to the bottom of everything And I'll be around when your grip slips and you do the same Talk until you turn back into a different version of your disa**embled person and I've heard enough. I've heard enough
