Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walkin' outside, labyrinthian
Over cracks, along under the trees
I know this town grounded in a compass
Cardinal landed in the dogwood
Keep goin' over it over and over
My steps iterate my shame
How come every outcome's such a comedown?
Lately afternoon with shades drawn down
[PreChorus]
Kept sayin', "I just wanted to see you"
Sayin', "What's wrong with that?"
Needles shakin' outlines in a compass
Every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus]
I knew it when I saw it
So, 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
That's a sort of fucked up place
Well, so I averted my stride on a quick one
He's comin' back from goin' over to your place, huh?
I feel like I could forget about it
I feel like I could mellow out
I don't feel undone in a big way
There's nothing really bad to be upset about, but
[PreChorus]
When I thought I was getting better, I
Woke up on the ground, an appointment
Or a disappointment?
A setback, oh, another comedown
[Chorus]
As if I needed a reminder
Oh, I do only what I wanna
So I go through with this
[Bridge]
Walkin' out in the nighttime, springtime
Needlin' my way home
I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago
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
[PreChorus]
Maybe I should've gone out a bit more
When you guys were still in town
I got too caught up in my own shit
That's how every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus]
And I knew it when I saw it
Oh, I did just what I wanted
So, I go through with this
I knew happiness when I saw it
And I saw it
