lyrics

I learned my lesson
but I didn't teach it
now i'm digressing
living my life in secret
a thousand messages
to people i've never been seen with
only vestiges
of lives i've dreamed to lead bits
i right my wrongs with double negatives
and move along, dragging my feet across the line
that's been redrawn
and I pace myself in every song
as long as the strings of fate
hold me in this simple place
or pull me to a different state
I can wait but I'll be the last to leave
last to clear my plate
of all the fallen splintered leaves
I stake my claim
but winter needs
more than I have to give
I flee to repeat
but forget to live

you think it's so long
five weeks
here and then it's gone
five weeks
here and then it's gone
five weeks
here and then it's gone

don't mind me
I'm just wiping my eyes
looking for relationships
that seem to come in short supply
like vacant ships
docked at shore for all their life
so they can sit
and think about what they didn't do right
or get whipped like slaves
that did what they wanted
no matter what their master said
day or night, I just don't want it
put that mast to bed
wind moving west past my head
it's land from here on and
pouring out my chest
not just blood but pure bonds
I wish myself the best

you think it's so long
five weeks
here and then it's gone
five weeks
here and then it's gone
five weeks
here and then it's gone
here and then it's gone
