The Weakerthans - Aside

Measure me in metered lines, in one decisive stare
the time it takes to get from here to there
My ribs that show through t shirts and these shoes I got for free
I'm un consoled, I'm lonely
I am so much better than I used to be
Terrified of telephones and shopping malls and knives
And drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on by courtesy, in love with love, and lousy poetry
And I'm leaning on this broken fence between Past and Present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games that I swore I'd never play
But it almost feels okay
Circumnavigate this body of wonder and uncertainty
Armed with every precious failure, and amateur cartography
I breathe in deep before I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor
And I'm leaning on this broken fence between Past and Present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games that I swore I'd never play
But it feels okay
And I'm leaving Wave goodbye
And I'm losing, but I'll try, with the last ways left, to remember
Sing my imperfect offering
Measure me in metered lines, in one decisive stare
the time it takes to get from here to there
My ribs that show through t shirts and these shoes I got for free
I'm un consoled, I'm lonely
I am so much better than I used to be
Terrified of telephones and shopping malls and knives
And drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on by courtesy, in love with love, and lousy poetry
And I'm leaning on this broken fence between Past and Present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games that I swore I'd never play
But it almost feels okay
Circumnavigate this body of wonder and uncertainty
Armed with every precious failure, and amateur cartography
I breathe in deep before I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor
And I'm leaning on this broken fence between Past and Present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games that I swore I'd never play
But it feels okay
And I'm leaving Wave goodbye
And I'm losing, but I'll try, with the last ways left, to remember
Sing my imperfect offering
