Mountain Goats - Half Dead lyrics

rate me

it was raining outside, so I cleaned house today.

spent half of the morning throwing old things away.

try not to get caught up,

try to think like a machine.

focus in on the task, try not to think about what it means.

can't get you out of my head.

lost without you,

half dead.

took my spot at the window, looked out at the road.

dots and dashes of traffic, like a messaging code

of whole boxes of memories wrapped up at the curb,

I sang songs to myself that didn't have any words.

can't get you out of my head.

lost without you,

half dead.

stole out to the backyard late last night.

pine trees frozen in the silvery moonlight,

rising like giants from the cold earth.

what are the years we gave each other ever gonna be worth?

can't get you out of my head.

lost without you,

half dead.
