lyrics

you’ve got fifteen reasons not to go outside
and every one of those tendencies is easily justified
but you’ve got me
whatever that might mean to you
and i've got ten gifted fingers that long for education
and a mind like a sieve trying to retain an aspiration
but i do love you
whatever that might mean to you

and you go a long way down
i’ve got a long way to go
you go a long way down
i’ve got a long long way
to get down there with you

you cut all ties with the circles you’ve averted
but you give yourself completely to the people
who deserve it
you’re the right kind of kind
though you may not agree with me
you’ve no sympathy at all for the affected and inflated
but empathy in abundance for those who are mistreated
and it makes you sick
and i think i’m starting to get a feel for it

you go a long way down…

i can try and reassure you ‘til i’m blue in the face
and i’m sure i’ll test the limits of your understanding and patience
but you are a catalyst and so you will always suffer
you get behind the eyes and not just under the skin
and i can see the desperate situation we’re all living in
and i am fortunate that you chose to blow my cover

you go a long way down…

i’m a man unabridged in a world without order
people waiting to disappoint me around every corner
but i do love you
and i’ll wait for the end of the world with you
