lyrics

you let me down again, my friend
of all the ways to end up and it's back into the wind
there it goes just like a cannon
there's no time to rearrange the boundaries and erase the dotted lines

just because there was nothing else to do
just because i painted circles around you
just because i was the first to catch the clue
that's what it was

"that's all she wrote", said the old man on the floor
he sings another song about those lovers in the war
behind his eyes, there's lies a canyon in the way
somehow we always cross it every single fucking day

just because that's how they said it had to be
just because the fire's freezing over me
just because i never thought too much to see
just what it was

and the ghost of wild henry's on the run
wild like the sky over the sea
wild like these thorns in front of me
wild like the night, wild like the night

it never ends, well, that's the way it always goes
when something like a fire's burning underneath my nose
i'll take my time, coz it's the only thing i've got
that doesn't make me feel like something's tying me in knots

just because, well, that's the way it's gotta go
just because i'm stranded in the overflow
just because they've gotta keep me on my toes
just because

and the ghost of wild henry's on the run
wild like the sky over the sea
wild like these thorns in front of me
wild like the woods in the back of my mind
wild like the holes shot in these signs
wild like the one last chance to break
wild like the messes we all make
wild like the fool up around the bend
who says it's gotta end
and the ghost of wild henry's my best friend
