Lyrics

Was it the words that I’d say
Or maybe the words that I didn’t say, didn’t say
When you came to me
And told me you don’t want to see me anymore
Shut the door

Sitting in a place I know -
I’m scared to go outside - My mind

Cause I’m looking for you all the time
How can I be fine
With the lack of your raven-haired, poetic mind

I’m strangely devoted to you
Maybe believing that I drove you to it
And constantly counting the loss
Through the mere seven blocks that we live across

And it’s all - all sad and down
Seems like our fireflies have flown to the sun

I can’t find my sign
When I’m looking for you all the time
How can I divine
What goes on in your raven-haired poetic mind

Was it the case that you drew first and shot
The bullet blind-siding my eyes
But I was drawn to you then
And I’m drawn to you now
In your strange silent raven-haired poetic mind

After three years it seems so absurd
The flaws from the first draft wreak hell in the third
Oh but stranger the causes you know
And everything passes a little slow

And I've got my head out of the pipe
Still god-damned inertia takes over my life

I can’t find my sign
When I’m looking for you all the time
How can I be fine
When I’m drawn to your raven-haired poetic mind

It’s a strange kind
Of love that is all in your mind
How can I be fine
Without your soft silent raven-haired poetic mind

I resign my line
Now I’m looking for you all the time
How can I be fine
Without your strange silent raven-haired poetic mind

I will find my sign
Though the ground is moving from under my spine
I will find my time
In your strong silent raven-haired poetic mind
