Ben Folds Five - Evaporated lyrics

rate me

What I've kept with me

and what I've thrown away

don't know where the hell I've ended up

on this glary, random day

Were the things I really cared about

just left along the way

for being to pent up and proud

woke up way too late

feeling hung over and old

and the sun was shining bright

and I walked barefoot

down the road

started thinking about

my old man

it seems that all men

wanna get into a car and go

anywhere

CHORUS

here I stand - sad and free

I can't cry and I can't see

what I've done

God. . .what have I done

don't you know I'm numb, man

no I can't feel a thing at all

'cause it's all smiles and business

these days

and I'm indifferent to the loss

I've faith that there's a soul somewhere

who's leading me around

I wonder if she knows

which way is down. . . [on demo:which way is up and which is down. . .]

CHORUS

I poured my heart out

I poured my heart out

it evaporated. . .see?

Blind man on a canyon's edge

of a panoramic scene

or maybe I'm a kite

that's flying high and random

dangling a string

Or slumped over in a vacant room

head on a stranger's knee

I'm sure back home

they think I've lost my mind.

CHORUS
