lyrics

I have made such grave mistakes,
I have hurt all of the people who'll be absent at my wake,
Coffin bearers and broken plans will take us to the end,
And I'm ashamed to sat I'll go at lightning speed then,
'Cause I have made such grave mistakes,
I have hurt all of the people who'll be absent at my wake,
I have made such brave escapes,
And it's all coming back to me now.

Well, we sat inside your living room, watching your TV,
Your shoulder silhouetted by the static beautifully,
As I ran my finger down your back, I thought that this would be,
The end of time, it all stops here, so warm and peacefully,
But of course things never go exactly as you plan,
The feeling fades and breaks away, then reforms once again,
But this time felt so heavy as it caved in on my chest,
'Cause I think you were the one who I was ready to accept.

And I wonder where my old haunts are now,
Do they still dream about me?
Or are they just trying to settle down,
With a sturdy anchor?
When I go, will they sleep well at night,
Knowing that justice has prevailed?
Will anything wipe it clean?

Would you feel better in your Idaho home?
Would you feel better in your Philadelphia apartment?
You'd feel better in your Boston home.
Would you feel better, would you feel better?

Would you feel better?
