Built To Spill - Carry The Zero lyrics

rate me

I'm not knocking your want to carry that home

Took it with you when you moved and got it broke

Found the pieces, we counted them all alone

Didn't add up, forgot to carry a zero

I can't be your apologist very long

I'm surprised that you'd want to carry that on

Count your blemishes you can't they're all gone

I can't see your response putting them back on

Like they're waiting for your guard to fall

So they can see it all

And you're so occupied with what other persons are occupied with

And vice versa

And you've become what you thought was dumb

A fraction of the sum

Yeah you've become

Yeah you've all become a fraction of the sun

The middle and the front

And now it's coming back hasn't it come too far

I was trying to help but I guess I pushed too hard

And now we can't even touch it

Afraid it'll fall apart
