How tall can we stand Lean back up on our heels to go Where we aren't allowed Speak sophisticate, trochee and iamb Honestly, it was our mistake Mutter apologies under a borrowed sigh Read out on our face Waiting for someone to pick you up outside Hidden back behind the row of dimming lights Obscuring half your face, you watch but don't speak up After all, you'd rather let them be, pursuing fleeting things Squeezing onto hands that don't squeeze back (Kurai raito ushiro kaoga kakure Kimiha sakebu warera nozoki kiita) Honest, it wasn't our intention Bending lines and blurring lights, you feel faster If you can keep your eyes from closing now Our faculties as such withstand The will we've lost, the wherewithal to let them be now Go ahead, I don't mind Go on ahead, I don't mind Lost on the idea of some cinematic close We thought that it would build to something meaningful But dragging through the leads and giving up the ghost Didn't really leave us much to take home Maybe the lesson was just to be mindful The nothing was ever what we were expecting Maybe the timing would work out if we would just wait And let it work out Gathering up our things away from where they belong Gathering up the courage to leave them flustered in disarray To beat in the back roads, to fit in a better role What we couldn't see at first, though we struggled That if we'd stayed until the end, everything's explained, and it was simple It isn't deeper than we thought, just our approach was wrong, thinking too hard In truth, there was nothing to get, there was nothing to know, it's just in how it's told
