Mewithoutyou - Carousels lyrics

[Verse 1] On a bus ride into town, I wondered out loud, "Why am I going to town?" As I looked around at the billboards and the stores I thought, "Why do I look around? And I kissed the filthy ground... the first dry spot I found I didn't have to wonder why I was laying down Before long I was too cold... took a bus back to the station I found a letter left by a pay phone with no return contact And it read like a horn blown by some sad angel "Bunny, it was me... it was me who let you down It was the shyest attempt I'd ever seen at conversation [Chorus] But if I didn't have You as my guide, I'd still wander lost in Sinai Counting the plates of cars from out-of-state How I could jump in their path as they hurry along! And You surround me, you pretty much are all I can see Like a thick fog If there was no way into God I would never have laid in this grave of a body for so long [Verse 2] And St. Cyril's fair always came through the first week of September But it's already the 19th... and there's no sign of it... Yet I have a hard time remembering all the things I should remember And a hard time forgetting all the things that I was supposed to forget And, Christ, when You're ready to come back Then I think I'm ready for You to come back; But if You want to stay wherever exactly it is You are That's okay, too... it's, it's really none of my business [Chorus] And if I didn't have You as my guide, I'd still wander lost in Sinai Or down by the tracks watching trains go by To remind me: there are places that aren't here And I had a well but all the water left So I'll go ask Your forgiveness with every breath
