Ben Fold's Five
Evaporated

what i've kept with me
and what i've thrown away
and where i've ended up on this glary, random day
were the things i really cared about
just left along the way
for being too pent up and proud

woke up way too late
feeling hungover and old
and the sun was shining bright
and i walked barefoot down the road
started thinking about my old man
it seems that all men wanna get into a car and go anywhere
 

here i stand - sad and free
i can't cry and a can't see
what i've done
oh god... what have i done?
 

so don't you know i'm numb, man
no i can't feel a thing at all
cause it's all smiles and business these days
and i'm indifferent to the loss
i've faith that there's a soul somewhere
who's leading me around
i wonder if she knows which way is down...
 

here i stand - sad and free
i can't cry and a can't see
what i've done
oh god... what have i done?
 
 

i poured my heart out
i poured my heart out
it evaporated... see?
 
 

blind man on a canyon's edge
of a panoramic scene
or maybe i'm a kite
that's flying high and random
dangling on a string
or slumped over in a vacant room
head on a stranger's knee
i'm sure back home they think i've lost my mind
 

here i stand - sad and free
i can't cry and a can't see
what i've done
oh god... what have i done?


Did you get my other letters?
Sometimes I think I oughta call
'Cause you know I often wonder if you open them at all
Every couple of night or so, you know, you pop into my dreams
I just can't get rid of you like you got rid of me

Oh, but I send my best
'Cause God knows you've seen my worst
[but then all is fair in love]
