Right Back Where We Started

[Verse 1]

Yeah I picked it all up and I moved to the city

It's never dark and it doesn't feel right

The bar's are always full and the people are so pretty

Hollow little vessels that survive on the lights

Vaguely-rolling hills and a sleepy little sunrise

I even slept a little bit last night

Some populated people, they are waiting for salvation

I've never been there but I heard that it's nice

[Chorus]

And we go like death can't touch us tonight

Come back barely alive

Now we're right back where we started off

Ah hell, you got me wondering why

[Verse 2]

I been moving logs just to keep the fire burning

My voice is gone but the band wants to play

People go to work and the wheel, it keeps on turning

A little quiet at the end of the day

[Chorus]

Here we go, like the doomed little creatures we are

Keep our palms to the sky

Now we're right back where we started off

Ah hell, you got me wondering why

[Verse 3]

I think about the water that brought me out of hiding

I walk around a little drunk in the rain

Laughing like a devil in a dim little hallway

I could the minutes till I see you again

[Chorus]

Here we go to a dark and comforting place

Sit and listen to the pines

And now we're right back where we started off

Ah hell, you got me wondering why

We're right back where we started off

Ah hell, you got me wondering why
