Umphrey's McGee > Songs > New Wings > Lyrics


    If this is only just a microphone
    Can anybody say what they really want
    Am I afraid that I always don't, just tryin to fake it
    This could only be an afterthought
    Can you give what you're asking for
    Do you live in a plastic world
    Who's comin to save it

    All those little changes, maybe they're adding up
    I tried to explain it to ya, maybe I've just begun
    When you're always saying, "You're not alone"
    Know you're not alone

    No I didn't mean to laugh at all
    The reservations that I had are gone
    Whatever happened didn't last that long, nobody is safer
    When it feels like it's all too much, kinda like we last discussed
    I never kept score and I hate to judge beyond my best behavior

    I'll give you one disclaimer, but maybe that's not enough
    I'll put it down on paper for ya, maybe I'm growing up
    But what's the indicator, What's the difference between now
    And if we wait a little later, I don't mind

    And if we're falling back in time, crawling back inside
    Talking circles just like we've rehearsed 1000 times

    I know it's always harder that it seems to
    And if it's all the same then I believe you
    I'm not too far off from what you expected
    I'm what you are, just a little bit more protected

    That's how I saw the indications
    Starting to float into the conversations
    I meant to call but I'm in a situation
    I need to crawl out, I need a little patience

    Unless we're falling back in time, crawling back inside
    Talking circles just like we've rehearsed 1000 times

    All those little changes
    I tried to explain it
    When you're always saying
    You're not alone
