THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS LYRICS - Adventures In Solitude

"Adventures In Solitude"



Balancing on

One wounded wing

Circling the edge

Of the neverending

The best of the vanished marvels have gathered inside your door



More than begin

But less than forget

But spirits born

From the not happened yet

Gathering there

To pay off a debt brought back from the wars



We thought we lost you

We thought we lost you

We thought we lost you

Welcome back



Sleeping for years

Pick through what is left

Through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth

From the rainwater well

Deep as a secret nobody knows



Less than forget

But more than begun

These adventures in solitude never done

To the names of our rooms (?)

We send the same blood back from the wars



We thought we lost you

We thought we lost you

We thought we lost you

It will all come back



I know you want to

Run far away from one more

And that it's comin' at a bad time

Some cold place

Heartless ways

For all we know



I know you need to

Breathe through

Come back

Come too

But it's comin' at a bad time

Tangled day

For all we know



I know you want to

Run far away from one more

And that's comin' at a bad time

Some cold race

Heartless ways

For all we know



I know you want to

Breathe through

Come back

Come too

But it's comin' at a bad time

Old scarred face

Survivor's guilt

For all we know
