Volunteers

[Verse 1]
Hey
I retraced my steps
I dusted my memory for fingerprints
Your haunted head
Is nowhere in sight
Yeah, we were on a roll
Unstoppable now
Unexamined like a flyover town
A siren describing a stranger’s house
While we trophy around
And light ourselves up
‘Cause we need to remember about as much as my drink needs an orange umbrella
Baby, this kind of stuff don’t happen to smart kids like us

[Chorus]
Tell me, how was I supposed to know
I’d be the one who let you go?
Now
I stumble out of
Yeah, I stumble ‘round a room that don’t have walls anymore

[Verse 2]
Hey
I didn’t feel a thing
Call it a calling
My specialty
Come the night
Well, there’s no need to start
Wrapping my rattled head ‘round your absent heart
Now, volunteers awake in a dream
With transplant scars up and down your sleeves
And squeaky minds to feed
Before the shock of finding that nothing profound
Comes from all the magnificent shit you talk about
Babe, when that one wears off
You’re gonna need a whole new shock

[Chorus]
Tell me how was I supposed to know
I’d be the one who let you go?
Now
Yeah, I stumble out of
Yeah, I stumble ‘round a room that don’t have walls anymore
A room that don’t have a door anymore
In circles, running my hands along the wall
Tell me how was I supposed to know
I’d be the one who let you go?
Oh, now
I stumble out of
Yeah, I stumble ‘round a room that don’t have walls anymore...

(Doo doo doo doo doo)
(Doo doo doo doo doo)
(Doo doo doo doo doo)
