high holy days – explain it away lyrics

light the signal fire
i said i’m coming home
i don’t remember if i had something here
or i can’t complain about it
i got a piece of perfect
always on my mind i see her now
and i don’t know if it’s that
i don’t care or she won’t care

explain away and i do
the picture perfect thing
i would light the time
i could mean so much to you
explain away and you do
the picture perfect dream
lies and reasons hide
what it is you mean to me

who she really is
i forgot to check this time
i got to be obtrusive
it’s my life to be hung up about it
and maybe she’ll be happy
if i breach the walls around her
and i don’t know if it’s that
i don’t care or she won’t care

explain away and i do
the picture perfect thing
i would light the time
i could mean so much to you
explain away and you do
the picture perfect dream
lies and reasons hide
what it is you mean to me

so don’t complain to me
it’s you you really want to talk to
i got ideas to lend
but i’m afraid the cost to reach you
one look reality
and here i am to heal your pieces
and all there is to do today
is start for perfect endings

explain away, explain away and i do, do, do, explain away and i do, do, do
