What I've kept with me
And what I've thrown away
And where the hell I've ended up
On this glary, random day
Were the things I really cared about
Just left along the away
For being too pent up and proud

Woke up way too late
Feeling hungover and old
And the sun was shining bright
And I walked barefoot down the road

Started thinking 'bout my old man
It seems that all I want to get into a car and go
Anywhere

Here I stand
Sad and free
I can't cry
And I can't see
What I've done
Oh God what have I done?

Don't you know I'm numb, man
No I can't feel a thing at all
'Cause it's all smiles and business these days
And I'm indifferent to the loss

I think that there's a soul somewhere
That's leading me around
I wonder if she knows which way is down

Here I stand
Sad and free
I can't cry
And I can't see
What I've done
Oh God what have I done?

I poured my heart out
I poured my heart out
It evaporated
See

Blind man on a canyon's edge
Of a panoramic scene
Maybe I'm kite that's flying high and random
Dangling on a string
Or slumped over in a vacant room
Head on a stranger's knee
I'm sure back home
They think I've lost my mind

Here I stand
Sad and free
I can't cry
And I can't see
What I've done
Oh God what have I done?

    This is one of their best songs, as for it being better than brick im not sure. They both seem to atract the fans to BFF. This song is incredible, I always kinda thought it was about someone who just told someone evrything they've ever felt and it was thrown back at them. Just now he seems like he know longer has to worry. The prolem is he doesn't get how it happened, like one day he woke up and was a new man. Im not to sure its hard to describe how this song can make you fell and the meaning. I just know this is a great song one of the best written.
