It's been a while It's been a while How've you been? How have you been? Shadows counting shadows Spinning out I see you in the mirror I see you again I see you again Starting to unwind Losing sense of time This isn't a feeling This is a friend This is a friend I only see you when no one's left around (If you're hoping) Why won't you realize When you're down and out? Why must you whisper When you have to shout? Why can't you remember That you won't figure it out Alone, alone, alone I'm sure, I'm sure That you'll come back around When you're upside down And you'll come back around Who's gonna be there? 'Cause I won't Who's gonna be there? 'Cause I'm not gonna Who?

I've got to let you know I'm glad to know it's still possible To spend another night erecting obstacles When you're coming around When the lights are down, the night's at an end God damn, I know you'd go and do it again God damn, I know you'll go and do it again I'd like to take you and honor you For finally finding someone else to fool And I've got to let you know Spun out and jumbled with all of you Finally doing everything we'd said we'd do When you're coming around When you think you've found someone to call a friend God knows you know you'd go and do it again God knows I told you you'd do it again I finally found a way to prove Everything I gave, you'd finally lose

And when she comes to me She always comes alone She stands in front of me And stares out at the storm I'm a windowpane She can see through me When it grows dark She can see herself in me Just because it doesn't make sense It don't mean that it's wrong (it don't mean that it's wrong) Just because I'm out of ideas It don't mean that I'm dumb (it don't mean that I'm dumb) And when she comes to me (she calls) She always comes alone I like when she's with me (she calls) And I can smell the smoke I'm a windowpane She can see through me When it gets light She can see herself in me Just because it doesn't make sense It don't mean that it's wrong (it don't mean that it's wrong) Just because I'm out of ideas It don't mean that I'm dumb (it don't mean that I'm dumb)

The trinkets left over from time Dry your eyes I'm telling you truth I'm telling you something These aren't words, these are keys Down on your knees I'll raise you still I watch you get high Because it's more fun to watch you fall I want to watch you fall All the king's horses and all of his men Couldn't do nothin' so I didn't call them (all fall down) (I try not to lift a hand. I try not to lift anything. In certain situations, you don't want to give any false movements. Any anticipation, any inkling of what might come next. But I'm pretty sure We both know.) Picture this A plot with no twist A mouth with no kiss A heart with no risk I love this stuff 'Cause it makes it more real When you're too numb to feel When you're too poor to steal from A new amalgam to ponder Eyes will wander But you know I know you know what it's like All the king's horses and all of his men Couldn't do nothin' so I didn't call them (all fall down) (Do you remember what you said?) You can't or you won't You can't or you won't
