about

Stay Here
Track 14 - Hindsight

lyrics

Let me begin by being clear that I find no glamor in this
I need no slap on the wrist to be sure that my life is close to perfect
But maybe that’s what hurts the most about this very verse
I’d be the first to admit it’s ridiculous to think my pain is worse
Or even worthy of your time

I’ve been so far away from being close to someone for so long
I forgot how to do it right
But when did I ever know, with a youth spent staring out the car window
In the same catatonic state that I find myself in today?

Hey, this isn’t a video game
And when the dawn comes along you’re not gonna respawn

Stay here--you’ve only got one shot
Face your fear that nothing near is real

Do you ever get that funny feeling when the hair on the back of your neck
Is standing erect like you’re detecting an imminent threat?
Well, I expect to be subjected to this on a daily basis
Stuck in stasis, weightless, when a year shrinks down to a week
And an hour becomes one blink

Hey, this isn’t a video game
And when the dawn comes along you’re not gonna respawn

Stay here--you’ve only got one shot
Face your fear that nothing near is real
