volunteers - paul dempsey lyrics

[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 sh-t 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
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 hand against the wall

[chorus]
tell me how
was i supposed to know
i’d be the one
who let you go?
now
i stumble out
yeah i stumble ‘round a room
that don’t have walls anymore
