Umphrey's McGee > Songs > Spires > Lyrics


    You ask for a reason I'd say why
    It tastes like treason outside
    I've been retreating in rewind

    Born in believing my right
    There is no seething insight
    I need to change my frame of mind

    If I fall I'll land up
    We've been retreating press rewind

    I ask for meaning you'd say why
    More than deceiving you'll try
    We've been retreating, press rewind

    Born in believing my right
    There is no seeing insight
    We've just a story to reread, not to rewrite

    And the echo of a voice
    Leaves you with no choice
    When you should stay out

    The sun it seems
    Has lifted from my dreams
    A better way to scream when you can't shout

    What's done is done
    It's true for everyone
    Infrequency becomes the subject 'round you

    Spelled out so plain
    And the meanings still the same
    If everyone complains the blame is on you

    If I fall I'll land up
    We've been retreating press rewind
