Our First Brains Lyrics

I saw the miracle but it was wasted on me
I couldn't find inside my self to give validity
I never knew which way you'd turn or what you thought of me
So I peeled away

I looked into your eyes the color of your shirt
They matched together like the water and the earth
I looked into your heart, I hate to say it scared me
So I ran away plainly to stay, I ran my way up north

I've listened to too many other laundry headed folks
Do what I can but find I just re-phrased "Stretch out and wait"
The spider moves across the grain of the apartment's paint
I fall asleep with the T.V. on

All of the friends that I have left to go on tour
They do not miss me seem like strangers at the door
I feel so shaky feel my good luck going bad
I eat some more
I sleep some more
I smoke some more
Put a pillow on the floor

Looking into my dark bits I found something else
Not a melody or riddle or lyric
Not exactly some new hell
Houses get built on the East Coast
I peel away, Fight what I crave

I looked into a miracle and saw somebody else
Into the miracle I think,
but really couldn't tell
I never I thought I could be happier than I was then
But things they do change
Things they do change

Going to Mini-Golf your head was on my lap
Back seat to Wilsonville you leaned to take a nap
I saw a beauty knew I'd never quite exceed
So in my head I just went dry
In my chest I just got high
That was the end of that

I saw a miracle squinted in it's eye
If this is fiction which figment am I
I don't know why I'm growing old
What point this is serving
What love to behold (so I sing)
I won't get married
I don't wanna get married
I don't want to perpetuate
that crooked tongue of misery
I don't wan na get married
Love is just so scary
And she's like blah blah blah
shakes hands with ha ha ha

Break the loop calm down and see
I don't need you to coddle, con
or take care of me

But, when you smiled
It did something to my insides
For what it's worth
you were great company in good times
when you smiled
I'd feel o.k.
I'd feel like I did something with my day
