Back of a Spoon

[Verse 1]
Oh, I've been here before
In the back of a spoon
As a hand pulls my cheek
I remember too soon
In my graduate gown
On a new summer night
I got hit on my neck
I've got wool in my eyes

[Chorus]
Well, I've seen me before
But I'm her worst fear
So I leave her behind
I don't carry her here
I've known her before
Like a moth to a flame
The smoke's in my lungs
I'm exactly the same

[Verse 2]
Oh, the baby-facеd girl
Set on her eyеs on the screen
And the microwave rays
Turned her skin a pale green
Am I letting her down?
Did she know I'd arrived
In a pair of new jeans
On the passage of time?

[Chorus]
And I've seen me before
But I'm her worst fear
So I leave her behind
I don't carry her here
I've known her before
Like a moth to a flame
The smoke's in my lungs
I'm exactly the same

[Verse 3]
From the maple treetop
Helicopters spin down
With their tornado tails
And their sap on the ground
Oh, we all start that high
Then we all find the dirt
But the fall's what we have
No, the fall shouldn't hurt

[Chorus]
And I've seen me before
But I'm her worst fear
So I leave her behind
I don't carry her here
I've known her before
Like a leaf in the air
I'm lost in the wind
She's lost in the glare
