This is how it always starts
All order falls apart
Okay, so who put this key in the mix?

Things were stable yesterday
But now they're blown away
Oh shit, I can't let them see me like this

Nothing sweet
Nothing nice
Nothing kiss, only fights

Nothing clear
Nothing bright
Nothing I'll feel tonight

Nothing great
Nothing good
Nothing is as it should

Nothing rad
Nothing right
Nothing I'll feel tonight

This is how it always starts
Dumb choices from the heart
Oh shit, I can't let them see me like this

Nothing sweet
Nothing nice
Nothing kiss, only fights

Nothing clear
Nothing bright
Nothing I'll feel tonight

Nothing great
Nothing good
Nothing is as it should

Nothing rad
Nothing right
Nothing I'll feel tonight

    To me, this song seems to show what it is like to be with someone for so long, that you loose grip on your reality with them. You're so comfortable with things, that you take them for granted and when you realize they want something else it sets things into a downward spiral... I've listened to a lot of music and the lyrical splendor of Grandaddy is simply amazing. Please comment on this great song! Thanks...
