3/14/13

I have a ton of respect for Pete Yorn, even if I've  never really delved into his catalog too far. Hell of a songwriter. But I love this song for his voice, for how broken and defeated he sounds. Really glad it exists right now.



"I’m taking a ride off to one side
It is a personal thing.
Where?
When I can’t stand up in this cage I’m not regretting.
I don’t need a better thing
I’d settle for less

It’s another thing for me
I just have to wander through this world alone.

Stop before you fall
Into the hole that I have dug here
Rest even as you
Are starting to feel the way I used to

I don’t need a better thing
Just to sound confused
Don’t talk about everyone
I am not amused by you.

Cause I’m gonna lose ya
Yes I’m gonna lose ya
If I’m gonna lose ya

Cause I’m gonna lose ya
Yes I’m gonna lose ya
If I’m gonna lose ya
I’ll lose you now for good."
