lyrics

You go where others fear to tread—you see green where they see red
You give your warmth like snow on ground—the cool white blanket's silent sound
Giving things you never had, oh Megan tell me what you’re thinking
When time alone is hard to find, you run off and go to ground

‘til the urgency subsides and you come down
Come down and start believing that it’s normal

You want to make the damage whole and you don't feel the vertigo (like they do)
You're a bit like me, you say—which part I'd like to know one day
You hold a banner to the sun, I shelter in the mainstream's shade
And long for better times than this, disregarding happiness

‘til the urgency subsides and you come down
Come down and start behaving like it’s nothing

You got away from their demands, and for awhile there was a hole
Until you walked along the sand, the prehistoric soul of all
Built a fire in the dunes—no-one else for miles around
Oh Megan, do I understand that you’re glad it happened?

And your hunger disappeared and you came down
In the dark time of the cycle of the year

The only certainty is change—this would have happened anyway
You're a bit like me, you say—which part I'd like to know one day
Which part I'd like to know one day
