lyrics

Don’t want to have to give a list of reasons why I’m good.
Don’t want to have to give a summary of badges that I’ve earned.
Don’t want to crash the party when the party house has been burned.

And I see no reason why I shouldn’t face the wind,
or why every decision is just something to defend.
And I will drive out to the desert
just to empty my backpack in the sand.
And I will drive back into town just to fill it up again.

My backpack is full of half done things.
Half-eaten seeds and memories that sting,
and when I get to the table,
all that stuff is what I’ll have to bring.

So don’t ask me to give a list of reasons why I’m good.
Don’t bother trying to factor in the goals I have attained.
Doesn’t make much of a difference
what has been lost and been gained.
