The Right Way Around - Daughter

My friends from high school Married their high school boyfriends Moved into houses In the same ZIP codes where their parents live But I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow I hit the highway In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling Lived like a gypsy Six strong hands on a steering wheel I've been a long time gone now Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down But I've always found my way somehow By takin' the long way, takin' the long way around Takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I met the queen of whatever Drank with the Irish, smoked with the hippies Moved with the shakers Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to No I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow It's been two long years now Since the top of the world came crashing down And I'm gettin' it back on the road now But I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around (the long) Oh, I'll just take my time, I won't lay down (the long) And take long way around Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself I opened my mouth and I heard myself It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself Guess I could've made it easier on myself But I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down If you ever want to find me, I can still be found Takin' the long way, takin' the long way around Takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around

And they're making children And they're making love With their old excuses We are built for reproduction But I find it soothing When I am confined I'm just fearing one day soon I'll lose my mind Then I'll lose my children Then I'll lose my love Then I'll sit in silence Let the picture soak Out of televisions Float across the room Whisper into one ear Out the other one Then I'll take my clothes off And I'll walk around Because it's so nice outside And I like the way the sun feels And when it's dark I'll call out in the night for my mother But she isn't coming back for me 'Cause she's already gone But you will not tell me that 'Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it And you know you're doing the right thing You must know you're doing the right thing I have lost my children I have lost my love I just sit in silence Let the picture soak Out of televisions Out of televisions Out of televisions Out of televisions Out of televisions And they're making children Everyone's in love I just sit in silence Let the picture soak

I am wasted, losing time I'm a foolish, fragile spine I want all that is not mine I want him, but we're not right In the darkness I will meet my creators And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator I should go now, quietly Before my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep Where all my layers can become reeds All my limbs can become trees All my children can become me What a mess I leave To follow To follow To follow To follow In the darkness I will meet my creators And they will all agree That I'm a suffocator Suffocator, suffocator Oh, love I'm sorry if I smothered you I'm sorry if I smothered you I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside My mother Never to come out

Shadows settle on the place that you left Our minds are troubled by the emptiness Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time From the perfect start to the finish line And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs Setting fire to our insides for fun Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong The lovers that went wrong We are the reckless, we are the wild youth Chasing visions of our futures One day, we'll reveal the truth That one will die before he gets there And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead, and they are gone We're setting fire to our insides for fun Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home It was a flood that wrecked this home And you caused it And you caused it And you caused it Well, I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget And my eyes are damp from the words you left Ringing in my head when you broke my chest Ringing in my head when you broke my chest And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one 'Cause most of us are bitter over someone Setting fire to our insides for fun To distract our hearts from ever missing them But I'm forever missing him And you caused it And you caused it And you caused it
