lyrics

I took my car up to Loser's Point.
Stared ahead and said, "I'm dead now."
But I couldn't wait to see my friends at the party the next day.
I stood and watched the pink sky fade to gray and the sun disappearing.

It's kinda nice when you can't feel the sting of someone leaving,
But makes you scared that you don't care enough to try to save anything.
Oh, all my life I only wanted to be tranquil.
The perfect Buddhist is the squirrel that successfully reaches roadkill.

And my clock keeps turning
On and off
Maybe two or three times every second.
And I keep waking from my sleep
Trying to remember
What it was that gave me company.

It's hard to move when your feet are glued to the ground.
I never knew what I could do with you around.
When you saw me gathering dust on the shelf,
You could tell that I could not save myself.
