lyrics

I was a rain cloud, I was a cold front
I was the snow and the ice on the beach
Just a chilly rebuke from a temperate climate
Of your vernal headstrong eagerness to overreach

Send all your friends to beat a path to my front door
With mousetraps, metatheater, and math too crooked to ignore

I just want to live in certainty
But I want to die in irony
I want to do defiantly
Most everything you won’t
Lord have mercy, because I don’t

You were a quick fix, you were a long shot
A deus ex machina, a skeleton key
The drag anchor of conscience and the unrequested answer
To a question that would never have occurred to me

Now all our friends would sell you out to have me back
And send your tender heart to shipwreck on everything I did to try to leave it intact

I just want to live in certainty
But I want to die in irony
I want to do defiantly
Most everything you won’t
Lord have mercy, because I don’t

If the wind is from the south, well then it may not be impossible
If from the north, there’s not a chance

I just want to live in certainty
But I want to die in irony
I want to do defiantly
Most everything you won’t
Lord have mercy, because I don’t
