Sonder Lyrics by Laurie Supple

Getting Out/Getting In

0

[Verse 1]
Down the hill from where I learned to read and write
There’s a face I’m supposed to answer to
My countenance tells of a million plights
But that couldn’t be farther from the truth
[Verse 2]
I don’t want to talk about numbers now
I would rather forget the whole night
You wouldn’t get it if I were to dumb it down
So let’s drop it and save us another fight
[Refrain]
I’ll say goodbye
But you just won’t die
[Verse 3]
There’s the bleachers we threw wildflowers on
Or the ones where you could say it all began
While time has proven that some bonds
Are made to break, others to withstand
[Verse 4]
Past the statue famed in obscurity
To the park with its familiar obelisks
To the deserted island of concrete
When the sun is working a double shift
[Refrain]
When I say goodbye
Please don’t die
[Verse 5]
There are blackberries strewn across the ground
Where you tried to banish me years ago
I fear there was no other way around
So I stepped on them and let it go
[Verse 6]
In the corridors turning a blind eye
To the only hello’s I’d ever get
If I wanted to live as a poltergeist
I wouldn’t have any training left
[Refrain]
When I say goodbye
Can you see I tried?
[Verse 7]
Do you see what I see when you look at them?
How time has weathered their effigies?
Do they care if I remember them?
Do I care if they will remember me?
[Verse 8]
I want to talk about numbers now
How they approach faster with every year
How the tension is foremost and paramount
Until to their senses they do appear
[Refrain]
You get one life
