Swan Dive - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Well, it's hard to find the words to say

What no one would say to you when you were around

The loneliest caged bird sings the saddest song

And you were never one to keep us guessing long

If you ask me what went wrong

I'll tell you nobody is doin' fine

We're all fucked up and doin' time

The gates of Eden elude people like ourselves

I think about you every now and then

More now than I ever did when you were down

All reservations pass when chances slip away

All songs play better from confusion

Now I sit and I wonder how

Every day gets a little shorter

And always feel I'm losin' out somehow

Don't wanna let another day go by

Without creation

Now, if you ask me what went wrong

When you're fallin', you're the only one that doesn't see the distance

Sacrifice yourself to save yourself

Now, we don't always walk the line and broadcast how we hurt sometimes

And still, at times, it seems nobody wants to know

Give me some time; I might remember

Everything you ever did or said to me
