about

Acoustic with strings

lyrics

I heard it
as I leant against the wall
The pinprick
Although I felt no pain at all
I knew it was bad
If I can't explain myself to you
I shouldn't have to

You leaning so far back
without a wall
against your back
You're lean so far back
without a wall
you're gonna fall

I said
"To fill a hole you've got to dig another"
He said
"Well I've been digging like a mole"

You lean so far back
without a wall
against your back
Baby you're gonna fall
you're gonna fall

Something like a universe so heavy
Was like a pinprick so small
How do you know when you've gone
when you've taken them all?

I heard it
as I leant against the wall
The thumb crack
Although I felt no pain at all
I knew it was bad
If I can't explain myself to you
I shouldn't have to
If I can't explain myself to you
I don't think I will do
