Big Wide Empty - Harvey Danger

I like to watch the right decisions dance around my head

And sit around reflecting on the ones I made instead

I got lost in thralldom right away

And look at where I am today:

Fingering a thin and fraying string forever

And if it drags me down (if it drags me down)

What can I do but follow?

(what can I do but follow?)

To swim against a vortex (to swim against a vortex)

Or to lie me down and wallow (lie me down the)

Big wide empty, oh

Lie me down the big wide empty, oh

Brought up in seclusion, California breeds confusion

When your fossil fuels run dry, meet me under the delusion

We could leap off of the infrastructure

Choose our words less carefully

The music of a thrumming nerve, a rhapsody

And if it drags me down (if it drags me down)

What can I do but follow?

(what can I do but follow?)

To swim against a vortex (to swim against a vortex)

Or to lie me down and wallow (lie me down the)

Big wide empty, oh

Lie me down the big wide empty, oh

I cannot see the edges and I cannot see the guts

No, I cannot see the rivets and I cannot see the struts

And the line between open and embarrassing

Is hard to see at best, and ever-narrowing, ah-ooh

My dear old friendly passing acquaintance, it’s really good to see ya

It’s been a while, to say the least is always a good idea

We knew how we felt and what to say

And look at where we are today:

Waiting for the string to break

And if it drags me down (if it drags me down)

What can I do but follow?

(what can I do but follow?)

To swim against a vortex (to swim against a vortex)

Or to lie me down and wallow (lie me down the)

Big wide empty, oh

Lie me down the big wide empty, oh

Da-na-na-na, da-na-na na-na-na

Tonight I saw the edges, 'cause tonight I finally tried a bit

Look what came of it
