lyrics

In the Garden of Eden
Well there was no one around
If its supposed to be nice
A sort of paradise
Why am I feeling so down

All in sleeves of the hoodies
Loose fitting clothes off their hooks
Well shouldn’t it be great
Life’s of the comforts you make of it
But too damn shook

I’ve wanted time alone
Some time to tend to the things the way I do on my own
But not like this, not like this,
Like when your dad made you smoke the whole carton of cigarettes
It’s lesson learned

I have taken my fair share
Of guilty nights off the town
“No you all go ahead, I’ve not been feeling too good
I hope that you have fun, though, yeah”

But in a pile of a hundred
Interchangeable nights
With nothing I wouldn’t give to change my places with him
With friendly faces in bright city lights

I’ve wanted time alone
Some time to be by myself, you know to get in the zone,
But not this way, not this way,
It’s like the one you lie awake at night for that got away
It’s lesson learned

I miss the warm embrace of friends
When leaving for the day
And the details in expressions
You can’t see six feet away
The ten great unknown comforts
That have, with surgical precision, been
Carved out of the contours of the human landscape
Lesson learned

I pace around the apartment
Trying to switch up the rooms
A kitchen hour on news, I have the power to choose
This surrounding from one or two more of those now

Bursting out to the sidewalk
A needed walk down the avenue
Feeling frozen in time, with fellow travelers I’m
Escaping solitude

I wanted time alone
The kind of time that it takes to fade into unknown places
Not in this spot
I have the thing I always wanted till the second I got
It’s lesson learned
