lyrics

Sitting with my back against a tree
The water by me
I can hear a sound coming from
Way back beneath
I can't put my finger on it
Can't hold it in my hand
Can't tell anyone about it
So I do what I can

So why in the hell would I want to go back to you?
Back to your jungle with all its scattered truths?
The only truth I know is right here in the dirt.
Why would I wanna go where I know I'm gonna be hurt?

Standing with my face against the wall
Trying hard not to fall
I just wanna go home where I
Don't have to scramble at all
What is so bad about it
I know where I belong
Some may say it's weak, but I
Think it's very strong

So why in the hell would I want to go back to you?
Back to your jungle with all its scattered truths?
The only truth I know is right here in the dirt.
Why would I wanna go where I know I'm gonna be hurt?
