Was about to tell the truth
But it turned into something different
That made all my pursuits lead down
Scape routes I never wanted
From the first ticket to the last
Rejected would equal haunted
Always wanted to be
A hole without the ass
A glow without a past

Could've been a long ago afternoon
Could've been
Someone who came close enough
To bring misfortune

Did I hear a sigh
Well, I don't mind
Don't we all pull, drag a darkening
Bored past behind
From the first ticket to the last
I always knew you'd manage
To trace some of the damage
Back to this
Back to me

Could've been a long, low humming out of tune
Moving slowly across the room
Could be the best and worst in me
Agreed to follow, to take it on
Could've been a long, low humming out of tune
Moving slowly from room to room
Could be the best and worst in me
Agreed to follow, to take it on
