Already Spent Lyrics
I collected the years in a basket
In the hope they might cover my head
When you came home to see them
I guess they were already spent
All our colors were caught in the tree rings
You were shaking your head at the ground
I keep feeling like I was the reason they never were found
And you should've seen that Racine relief
Pushing its claws into what I believe
Turning out precious stones I couldn't keep
Just to retreat and be gone from me
In a storage yard, stood like a statue
I've been counting the symbols all day
It seems strange that you left
But I guess you were written that way
I surrendered myself to your footprints
Wasn't sure if I'd followed them right
Over time, as the soil grew soft
I was losing my sight
I figured I might
In the hope they might cover my head
When you came home to see them
I guess they were already spent
You were shaking your head at the ground
I keep feeling like I was the reason they never were found
Pushing its claws into what I believe
Turning out precious stones I couldn't keep
Just to retreat and be gone from me
I've been counting the symbols all day
It seems strange that you left
But I guess you were written that way
Wasn't sure if I'd followed them right
Over time, as the soil grew soft
I was losing my sight
I figured I might
