Artist/Band: The Shins
Lyrics for Song: Sphagnum Esplanade
Lyrics for Album: Unknown [2000]



How lovely a find that's entered my mind along this mossy trail

And how coyly it hides the truth about how it is we can ask how



Crowds jump to their deaths from the bridges I drive by tonight

They missed out on it all

The whole gist there as they fall

You're not expected to know why in such a short time



There are stanzas never meant to rhyme



Far better a find it is if we try to span the weird divide

With no real rationale

We step out of bounds and think we've escaped the lies



And we're marched so long

but we've much farther than we've gone to go

And we'll make a new ship

Christen it for the trip with a toddler at the helm this time



There are things we never will define...



Crowds jump to their deaths from the bridges I drive by tonight

But they missed on it all

The whole gist there as they fall

You're not expected to know why in such a short time



There are things we never will define...
