Hot On The Trail

Steam Powered Giraffe

    Well you don't like that way that I am (is not the way)
    Way that you want and the way you understand (but I can't)
    Can't help being the way that I am (it's just the way)
    Way that it is and what I know so sorry about

    All of these things that I be and I know (it's all me)
    And not you but this ain't how I wish (it to be)
    For you and your way and I know (it's all me)
    Just know that I know, I know it's all on me

    All the little pieces make up so much
    Sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho
    Fragmented to the point of is it possible?

    Hot on the trail of a real fine life
    This could be what it means to be alive
    Can't be too sure, but it feels the right way
    Love is infinite like Sun rays

    I know what I need to be me
    And I know being me makes it hard to see
    Standing on a precipice isn't new
    Those demons sometimes get me seeing blue

    All this, call this, what you want but it
    Makes me feel alive
    Stowed it, showed it, now I know it
    Can't be in my mind

    It was foreign, pouring, I've been storing
    This for a long while
    I consumed, felt doomed, sung a new tune
    Eventually in time

    But you don't like that way that I feel (is the way)
    Way that makes you feel worse all of the time (and I know)
    Know that it's not okay for you (and it's not)
    Not for me and is for you so sorry about

    All of these things that you didn't sign up for (and I don't)
    Don't wish the pain on you it's so sore (but I've been)
    Honest to fault (but it doesn't help)
    I know that it hurts and it hurts and it keeps on hurting

    Every single time we try and try to
    Make things right for you and I
    We just kept digging, digging it deep
    Below our feet till we started to sink

    And I didn't know what what to do
    I told myself the truth the truth
    And I could understand and you could understand
    But how could we stand, when there was nowhere to stand?

    And all the little things that get under our skin
    Didn't make us better in that heavy weather
    I hope that it's better but never upsetter
    We took ours hands, made some vague plan

    All the little pieces make up so much
    Sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho
    Fragmented to the point of is it possible?

    Hot on the trail of a real fine life
    This could be what it means to be alive
    Can't be too sure, but it feels the right way
    Love is infinite like Sun rays

    I know what I need to be me
    And I know being me makes it hard to see
    The distance hasn't always been clear
    But finally with our love it could appear

    And you don't like what it is (you don't like what it is)
    And you don't know what it is (you don't know what it is)
    And I can't sum it up easily
    But I know what it is that I plainly see

    Yeah, who could have liked what it was?
    It caused such a fuss
    My heart placed in your hand
    Then we gave love a chance and
