Discoverer - R.E.M.

Hey baby

This is not a challenge

It just means that I love you

As much as I always said I did

I was wrong

I have been laughable wrong

Sandpaper, paper mâché, chalk

And hung out wet

Oh the city and your skin now

Na-na na-na, na-na

I didn’t have to be afraid

I didn’t have to feel so stupid

I can see myself

I can feel

That just the slightest bit of finesse

Might have made a little less mess

But it was what it was

Let’s all get on with it now

Discoverer!

Discoverer!

Discoverer!

Discoverer!

Laughing!

Discoverer!

Floating across Houston

This is where I am

I see the city rise up tall

The opportunities

And possibilities

I have never felt so called

Remember that vodka espresso night of discovery

Remember that?

Laughing

Discovery

Oh how I look back and reflect

How I felt it

How it set

I don’t have to feel so wrong

Now I wake up dreaming saffron, turmeric, and brass

That just the slightest bit of finesse

Might have made a little less mess

But it was what it was

Let’s all get on with it now

That just the slightest bit of finesse

Might have made a little less mess

But it was what it was

Let’s all get on with it now

Discoverer!

Discoverer!

Discoverer!

Discoverer!

Discoverer!
