lyrics

I want to get right back to roots
The first time I ever played guitar, wrote a song, got it wrong
I never could say what I meant
Confined behind cryptic lines, changing strings, tangled wire
I want to get right back to roots
The first time I ever played guitar, wrote a song, got it wrong
I never could play what I heard. I didn’t know the neck was broke, the action’s high, my
fingers hurt
I’m bringing back one from the heart
Overlapping jet trails trace an arc back to the start
A muscle car that don’t know no faith
Gliding through the morning fog, clouds are low but they’ll burn off
I want to get right back to roots
The first time I ever played guitar I wanted to be Thurston Moore
I never could say what I meant
You get to play your friend’s guitar; you get to break your friend’s guitar
You cannot eat your own mind
You cannot travel through time
In multiple repeated lines
That always come back again
A river only knows this:
I’m headed one-way towards bliss
And when I get to the sea
I’ll probably cease to be
You cannot walk through a wall
Unless you die and come back
Unless you die and come back
You cannot say this as fact
You cannot eat your own mind
You cannot travel through time
Concentric circles unwind
And like a telescope lens
Prismatic memory bends
And how the sea meets friend
A stranded cloud that descends
Remember when
We were streaming down a riverbed?
