lyrics

A girl I once loved was skating outside my doors
And when she fell I ran, I held her inside my arms
And she said, "who are you with?"
I said, "I don't know who I am"
And then she disintegrated right out from my hand
And I said

Ed was talking, he was talking all day
And drinking Coca-Cola outside of Burger King
And he said, "Coke is the best,
And you are the worst,
And love is only true when it is something that hurts"
And I said

I was smoking weed with a buddy named Ben
He used to buy me beer, but now I buy it for him
His house was rotting,
It was falling apart
But sometimes something dirty is the nearest to your heart
And I said

Sitting here right now, I wonder what it all could mean
All of these people and all of these scenes
Perhaps the answer is that,
Despite all the strife
All we do is play a role in someone else's life
And I said

Fall is coming, as it does each year
Summer's last stand whispers softly in my ear
I think of a love,
Who has thrown me away
And I still miss her more each and every day
Since she said

Kirk was smiling, his teeth stained with wine
He asked me to introduce him to a friend of mine
They hit it off, but soon he tapped me on the shoulder
Saying, "I've drained this bottle
And I'm back for another"
And I said

A friend of a friend, who I don't like too much
He grabbed onto me and he cried at my touch
He said, "I feel the loneliness
In my existence
And I feel the emptiness in my resistance"
And I said

Sitting here right now...
