Walking outside labyrinthian over Cracks along under the trees I know this town grounded in a compass Cardinal landing in the dogwood I keep going over it, over and over My steps iterate my shame How come every outcome's such a comedown? Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down I kept saying I just wanted to see you Saying, "What's wrong with that?" Needle shaking outlines in a compass Every outcome's such a comedown I knew it when I saw it Oh, but I did just what I wanted So, I go through with this I knew happiness when I saw it I saw your boyfriend at the Port Authority It's a sort of fucked up place Well, I averted my stride on a quick one He's coming back from going over your place, huh? I feel like we could forget about it I feel like I could mellow out I don't feel undone in a big way There's nothing really bad to be upset about Just when I thought I was getting better I Woke up on the ground An appointment or a disappointment A setback or another comedown As if I needed a reminder Oh, that I do only what I wanna So, I go through with this Walking out in the nighttime springtime Needling my way home I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago I saw some old friends at her funeral My steps keep splitting my grief through these solipsistic moods I should call my parents when I think of them I should tell my friends when I love them Maybe I should've gone out a bit more When you guys where still in town But I got too caught up in my own shit That's how every outcome's such a comedown And I knew it when I saw it Oh, I did just what I wanted So, I go through with this I knew happiness when I saw it And I saw it Yeah
