Why Did You Land
Guided by Voices · Other Songs - Guided by Voices
Hoping everything works out
'Cause I want them all to work out
You were always so in love with the truth
Why did you change?
Why did you land?
[Chorus:]
Look at the photograph
Nothing is real
Spend another lonely life
With nothing to feel
Was it something
In the stories everyone told you?
You needn't heed them
Maybe you should read them
Go back to where you came from
Why did you land?
You couldn't have stayed in flight forever
[Chorus]
Why did you land?
Why did you land?
Why did you land?
Why did you land?
Why did you land?
