I’m walking it down

I wanted to stay for a while, but this place

It keeps my head in the ground

I think it knows what it’s doing in some kind of way

Just like it did back in high school

I’d have run right home if my legs matched the incline

Or skipped like a stone if it meant I could waste time

I just wanted to know how to get what I wanted

And if I knew then what I know now

I’d probably spend my whole life chasing it down

I’m obsessed, I’m upset

I can’t see two ways about it

I’m a mess, I met death

I could tell you all about it

I’m obsessed, I’m upset

I can’t see two ways about it

I’m a mess, I met death

I could tell you all about it

So I tried taking the long way

It was a winding old road, I got dizzy on the way back home

I would’ve told you but I figured you’d have known I’d stay

I’m but a twisted old soul, suck the life from everything I know

I couldn’t bring myself to let you go

(You know I care about it way too much, let the light die

No one in the valley keeps touch, let the time fly)

Couldn’t bring myself to let you go

(You know I want to fix it all, tough luck, watch some friends die

No one sticks around too long, why the hell am I?)

But if I knew then what I know now

I’d probably spend my whole life chasing it down

And if I knew then what I know now

I’d probably spend my whole life chasing it down
