Evaporated (demo - 1992) Songtext
von Ben Folds

What I′ve kept with me, and what I've thrown away
And where the hell I′ve ended up on this glittering day
Were the things I really cared about just left along the way
For me to pick up and cry?
Woke up way too late, feelin' hungover and old
And the sun was shining bright and I walked barefoot down the road
Started thinking 'bout my old man, it seems that all men
Wanna get into a car and go
Anywhere
Here I stand
Sad and free
I can′t cry
And I can′t see
What I've done
Oh God, what have I done?
Don′t you know I'm numb and I can′t feel a thing at all
'Cause it′s all smiles and business these days
I'm indifferent to the loss
I think that there's a soul somewhere that′s leading me around
I wonder if she knows which way is up and which is down Here I stand
Sad and free
I can′t cry
And I can't see
What I′ve done
Oh God, what have I done?
I poured my heart out
I poured my heart out
It evaporated
See?
Blind man on a canyon's edge of a panoramic scene
Or maybe I′m a kite that's flying high and ran on dangly string
Or I′m slumped over in a vacant room, head on a stranger's knee
I'm sure back home, they think I′ve lost my mind
Here I stand
Sad and free
I can′t cry
And I can't see
What I′ve done
