Hot on the Trail - Steam Powered Giraffe

All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho

Fragmented to the point of is it possible?

Hot on the trail of a real fine life

This could be what it means to be alive

Can’t be too sure but it feels the right way

Love is infinite like sun rays

I know what I need to be me

And I know being me makes it hard to see

Standing on a precipice isn’t new

Those demons sometimes get me seeing blue

All this, call this, what you want but it

Makes me feel alive

Stowed it, showed it, now I know it

Can’t be in my mind

It was foreign, pouring, I’ve been storing

This for a long while

I consumed, felt doomed, sung a new tune

Eventually in time

But you don’t like that way that I feel (is the way)

Way that makes you feel worse all of the time (and I know)

Know that it’s not okay for you (and it’s not)

Not for me and is for you so sorry about

All of these things that you didn’t sign up for (and I don’t)

Wish the pain on you it’s so sore (but I’ve been)

Honest to fault (but it doesn’t help)

I know that hurts and it hurts and it keeps on hurting

Every single time we try and try

To make things right for you and I

We just kept digging, digging it deep

Below our feet ‘till we started to sink

And I didn’t know what what to do

I told myself the truth the truth

And I could understand and you could understand

But how could we stand, when there was nowhere to stand?

And all the little things that get under our skin

Didn’t make us better in that heavy weather

I hope that it’s better but never upsetter

We took our hands, made some vague plan

All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho

Fragmented to the point of is it possible?

Hot on the trail of a real fine life

This could be what it means to be alive

Can’t be too sure but it feels the right way

Love is infinite like sun rays

I know what I need to be me

And I know being me makes it hard to see

The distance hasn’t always been clear

But finally with our love it could appear

And you don’t like what it is (You don’t like what it is)

And you don’t know what it is (You don’t know what it is)

And I can’t sum it up easily

But I know what it is that I plainly see

Yeah who could have liked what it was?

It caused such a fuss

My heart placed in your hand

Then we gave love a chance and
