From the recording Down With the Ship

Lyrics

Well, I don’t want to be on the only side. I don’t want to be the only one to hide. I just want to see you deicide to clap your hands. This is not a choice in the sense you are thinking. Said: I don’t want to be on the only side, standing in the sun when it’s raining outside. I don’t want to be the only one to know your name. Cuz I have (he has) never been anywhere before (oh, let’s bring it on down). The warm evening sky, clearer than it could be, bluer than I have seen in years. Oh, please don’t leave me, please don’t leave me, please don’t. I met a man who said that he had seen this sort of problem before, but he did not seem inclined to help me. I have seen roots of the trees holding you down like twine to the ground. And in four years, nobody will be able to tell you apart from the dirt that they’re walking on. Ha ha.
