lyrics

five seconds next to you
makes me want to join a monastery
for five years
where it's holy to be lonely

but the things i'd do
to get you
to talk to me
are so unholy

do you want to know
how I really feel?
mist over water and
endless home movie reels
do you wanna know
what's on my mind?
let me make a list of all
the things i've lost and i can't find

you said you remember
the way i looked
in the sunroom reading
the catcher in the rye
for the 99th time

while everyone else was outside
swimming in the lake
"why can't you be sociable
for once in your life
for goodness sake?"

do you want to know
how i really feel?
mist over water and
endless home movie reels
do you wanna know
what's on my mind?
let me make a list of all
the things i've lost and i can't find

i'm gonna go
i'm gonna leave this party
i'm gonna go
and i'm not sorry

cuz

you think you'll find me
but i can drive for hours blindly

laughing at or laughing with--
it's so goddamn hard to tell the difference

you think you'll find me
but i can drive for hours blindly
