Thrice - Round Here lyrics
rate me[Originally by Counting Crows]<br />
<br />
Step out the front door like a ghost<br />
into the fog where no one notices<br />
the contrast of white on white.<br />
And in between the moon and you<br />
the angels get a better view<br />
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.<br />
I walk in the air between the rain<br />
through myself and back again<br />
Where? I don't know<br />
Maria says she's dying<br />
through the door I hear her crying<br />
Why? I don't know<br />
<br />
Round here we always stand up straight<br />
Round here something radiates<br />
<br />
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand<br />
she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis<br />
and she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land<br />
just like she's walking on a wire in the circus<br />
she parks her car outside of my house<br />
and, you know<br />
says she's close to understanding Jesus<br />
she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood<br />
yes, she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous<br />
<br />
Round here we're carving out our names<br />
Round here we all look the same<br />
Round here we talk, talk just like lions<br />
Oh, but we sacrifice like lambs<br />
Round here she's slipping through my hands<br />
<br />
She says "It's only in my head"<br />
She says "I know it's only in my head"<br />
But the girl on the car in the parking lot<br />
says "Man you should try to take a shot<br />
can't you see my walls are crumbling?"<br />
Then she looks up at the building<br />
and sge says "I'm thinking of jumping"<br />
She says "I'm sick and tired of life"<br />
Everybody's tired of something<br />
<br />
Round here she's always on my mind<br />
Round here we've got lots of time<br />
We never go to bed early<br />
and nobody makes us wait<br />
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late<br />
<br />
I can't see nothing.. nothing round here<br />
would you catch if I'm falling<br />
would you kiss me 'cause i'm leaving<br />
would you hold me 'cause i'm lonely without you<br />
I said I'm under the gun around here<br />
I said I'm under the gun around here<br />
I said I'm lonely lonely lonely round here
