The Shins - Sphagnum Esplanade lyrics

How lovely a find That's entered my mind Along this mossy trail How coyly it hides The truth about how it is We can't ask how Crowds jump to their d**h From the bridge as I drive by tonight And they've missed out on it all The whole gist there as they fall You're not expected to know why it's such a short time And there are stanzas never meant to rhyme Far better I find It is when we try to span The weird divide With no real rational We step out of bounds And think and escape their lies We've marched so long And we've much farther than we've gone to go We're making a new ship Christen it for the trip With a toddler at the helm this time And there are things we never will define Crowds jump to their d**hs From the bridge as I drive by tonight And they missed out on it all The whole gist there as they fall You're not expected to know why it's such a short time And there are things we never will define
