Select language to translate this lyric
I could stand here in the dark
Until they bring me a glass jar
To catch the things I want to catch
To keep a spider as a pet
I could howl up at the moon
Until the ending comes too soon
For things I used to beg to fetch
Things like you, my pet
And they would all see my unserious desperation
As my arms unfurl to retrieve words already spilled
All the fires I ever started can't begin to warm me
They all got away -- not one left a trace
I will end here listening
To the sound of my own breathing
To my many accomplishments
Though you never heard what I meant
I will leave your memory
To those who see you clearly
I will not carve you into song
I tell everyone's story wrong
And they would all see my unserious desperation
as my arms unfurl to retrieve words already spilled
All the fires I ever started can't begin to warm me
They all got away -- not one left a trace
This is the song you forget in a day
This is the love I threw away
This is the choice you forget in a day
This is the hope we threw away
