lyrics

I've got a broken backbone. It's been there for years.
I can't stand tall because I'm governed by fear.
But something keeps dancing in the back of my mind.
A dim little light that you can only find
in the stories that I used to read
about how the lonely, they've got everything that they need.

I'm breaking old habits. I'm changing my voice.
I'm getting in line to be the next one that you don't need.
But I don't mind. I need something that's real.
I need a little bit of love. A hope that'll heal
the lonely, but only if I don't wake up.

I can see a house on fire is providing the heat for you.
La la la la.

Guided By Voices, your favorite band.
"Do The Collapse", "Surgical Focus" is spinning.
And it sounds so clean.
And its got me thinking, is this more of the same?
My hands they are shaking.
Holy Matrimony. I gotta wake up.

I can see a church on fire is providing the heat for you.
La la la la.

But you know you won't be here for long
cause either way its gonna tighten the rope.
You don't want to try to hold onto my love.
Pass it on.

Just run home, just run home my dear.
I've become, I've become everything that you fear.
I don't know how it happened. But I've always enjoyed the penalty.
