Sphagnum Esplanade

How lovely a find That's entered my mind Along this mossy trail How coiley it hides The truth about how it is We can't ask how Crowds jump to their death From the bridge as I drive by tonight And they've missed out on it all The whole gist there as they fall You're not expected to know why it's such a short time And there are stanzas never meant to rhyme Far better I find It is when we try to span The weird divide With no real notion We step out of bounds And think and escape their lies We've marched so long And we've much farther than we've got to go We're making a new ship Christen it for the trip With a toddler at the helm this time And there are things we will never will define Crowds jump to their deaths From the bridge as I drive by tonight And they missed out on it all The whole gist there as they fall You're not expected to know why it's such a short time And there are things we will never will define --- Sphagnum Esplanade - The Shins
