VERSE 1:
i was working in a hotel in graceland
i was never really known on my own
i was counting on a tip of a peculiar trip
although i almost woulda made it alone
VERSE 2:
i was fueled up on the fumes of a long-lost hope
that had been burning right inside of my mind
i was a couple years away from the realization
that she never had responded in kind
BRIDGE:
i was feeling quite ahead of my generation
seeming quite behind all the time
i’ve lived through the lies
just like you knew i would
i’ve lived too many lifetimes
for my own damn good
am i feeling it out
or fanning the flame?
will i be silenced by doubt?
will i be given a name?
VERSE 3:
i had a feeling I was being repeated
when it’s really only running its course
she had a feeling she was being rejected
and so she silenced the original source
VERSE 4:
as if he needed any other reminder
if she woulda just responded in kind
she had a feeling she was being rejected
she hadn’t noticed he was taking his time
OUTRO:
ooh, draw the curtain
i’m taking you home
ooh, stop hurtin me
and start ending the world
