Lyrics

[Verse 1] Walking outside labyrinthian over cracks along under the trees I know this town grounded in a compass Cardinal landing in the dogwood I keep going over it over and over My steps iterate my shame How come every outcome is such a comedown? Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down [Pre-Chorus] I kept saying I just wanted to see you Singing, "What's wrong with that?" Needles shaking outlines in a compass Every outcome's such a comedown [Chorus] And I knew it when I saw it Oh, but I did just what I wanted So I go through with this I knew happiness when I saw it [Verse 2] I saw your boyfriend at the Port Authority It's a sort of fucked up place Well, I averted my stride on a quick one He's coming back from going over to your place, huh? I feel like I could forget about it I feel I could mellow out I don't feel undone in a big way There's nothing really bad to be upset about [Pre-Chorus] So when I thought I was getting better I woke up on the ground An appointment or disappointment A setback or another comedown [Chorus] As if I needed a reminder Oh, that I do only what I want to So, I go through with this [Bridge] Walkin' out in the nighttime springtime Needling my way home I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago I saw some old friends at her funeral My steps keep splittin' my grief Through these solipsistic moods I should call my parents when I think of them Should tell my friends when I love them [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I should have gone out a bit more When you guys were still in town I got too caught up in my own shit It's how every outcome's such a comedown [Chorus] And I knew it when I saw it Oh, but I did just what I wanted So, I go through with this I knew happiness when I saw it
