I'm out of breath,
I was just running through the cattails in the golden moss
This slowly grows upon my dreams,
the ones I kept from you
Hey now, it seems that
everything has changed
With a force that is swift
in its conclusions
And yes, I swear,
I swear I can't remember you at all
From your life,
from your life of dark confusion
And yes, I pretended to know the way
And look at me, I'm another unknown
Hey now,
think of all the quarters that I spent
On the phone, on the street,
outside the shed
Among the dead
Oh yes, I played upon your fears
Just like a child is chased
By the source of you itself
And then I'd laugh,
laugh at the uselessness
And then I'd cry, I'd cry for us all
My world's a million miles wide
But it's one inch deep
Gotta start reminding myself
Not to fall asleep
My world's a million miles wide
But it's woody and steep
There's so much to desire
But so little to keep
My world's a million miles wide
But it's woody and steep
Hey now
The gates of my repentance must be locked,
must be sealed
Cause they curse me
to remember every word
And how about you,
do you ever get the feeling
That a chance that is missed
must weep alone forever
Like a child, a child in his drunkenness
Or like a man broken alone
My world's a million miles wide,
but it's one inch deep
Gotta start reminding myself
not to fall asleep
My world's a million miles wide,
but it's one inch deep
There's so much to desire,
but so little to keep
My world's a million miles wide
But it's one inch deep
I'm tellin' you all about
the way it never was
I'm tellin' you all about
the way I'll never be
I'm tellin' you, I keep tellin' you
I keep tellin' you
Over and over a million miles wide
But it's one inch deep
Gotta stop reminding myself
Not to fall asleep
Yeah, my world's a million
A million miles wide
But it's one inch deep
There's so much to desire
There's so little you can
There's so little
So little you can keep
A million miles wide,
but it's one inch deep
I'm out of breath,
I was just running through the cattails in the golden moss
It slowly grows upon my dreams
The ones I kept from you
