I saw ten dead dogs on the side of the road |
|
driving late last night to your apartment |
|
and I thought it was an omen |
|
so I headed on back home and |
|
walked in circles 'round my room |
|
alone. |
|
O my God, is this really what you want? |
|
Would you tell us if it's not? |
|
And could you rewrite the plot |
|
and come and get us? |
|
Yeah, come and get us. |
|
Shivering cold, I woke up in water |
|
and wrapped myself around the toilet seat. |
|
I spoke in tongues and took all my clothes off. |
|
The tops of my fingers |
|
touched the tops of my toes |
|
O my God, is this really what you want? |
|
Would you tell us if it's not? |
|
And could you rewrite the plot |
|
and come and get us? |
|
Cause we can't stop doing |
|
what we think we want, |
|
even though we know it's not. |
|
This place is merely a subplot |
|
to come and get us. |
|
I've never felt this way before. |
|
Am I running away from what |
|
I've always been running towards. |
|
Belief, believe in me, cause I don't know |
|
if reason's ever gonna see why love |
|
would come to die, |
|
to leave. |
|
O my God, is this really what you want? |
|
Would you tell us if it's not? |
|
And could you rewrite the plot |
|
and come and get us? |
|
Cause we can't stop doing |
|
what we think we want, |
|
even though we know it's not. |
|
This place is merely a subplot |
|
to come and get us. |
|
I watched the sky turn from blue |
|
to black to red and yellow too |
|
before the purple dawn was filling up my room. |
|
And for a brief moment, |
|
I heard the whole earth groaning |
|
like there was something |
|
that it needed me to do |
