as about to tell the truth

But it turned into something different

That made all my pursuits lead down

Scape routes I never wanted

From the first ticket to the last

Rejected would equal haunted

Always wanted to be

A hole without the ass

A glow without a past



Could've been a long ago afternoon

Could've been

Someone who came close enough

To bring misfortune



Did I hear a sigh

Well, I don't mind

Don't we all pull, drag a darkening

Bored past behind

From the first ticket to the last

I always knew you'd manage

To trace some of the damage

Back to this

Back to me



Could've been a long, low humming out of tune

Moving slowly across the room

Could be the best and worst in me

Agreed to follow, to take it on

Could've been a long, low humming out of tune

Moving slowly from room to room

Could be the best and worst in me

Agreed to follow, to take it on
