You've Gone Away Enough

So, about two weeks ago Megan, Erin, and I were at Metropolis. We were trying to slowly kill ourselves with baked goods and caffeine. Megan and Erin played a really pessimistic game of scrabble. It was during this game that I stole Erin's iPod. This song by Mirah came on her iPod shuffle. God Bless the shuffle. I had never heard this song before and man. It is perfect. So perfect for this time.



You've Gone Away Enough

if the light takes you in will you know where you've been all this time
at the edge of a cliff you could almost just slip down the side
when there's so much to do don't you wish you could make up your mind?
but it know it's elusive, it grows and it burns you inside


ooooooooo...

with my eyes mostly closed like a person who knows how to drown
i'll squint at the sun and my shoulders will pray for the ground
let's throw something over, imagine it's us falling down
and thinking of death we will watch without making a sound

ooooooooo...

but it's just the way you are you don't have to be afraid
the way you look at the stars and how you think that they were made
the motion will never stop turning the night into the day
you've gone away enough when will you decide to stay

my trouble with everything always is nothing's just right
just to figure out nothing could keep you awake half the night
not to know what you want is a terrible thing you should fight
you just sift for the face of the dark while you wait for the light

ooooooooo...
