The Bear Quartet - Nowhere's Clearer

a kind scene
I always wanted to show you
but it's too late
now lost in a state of being
and a way of seeing
that makes it hard to relax
as we both pretend you're not really
pushing yourself away
all words collapse,
untrue but meaning well
I'd say goodbye becomes you

nowhere's clearer,
I doubt nowhere's clearer tonight
I'm out of sight
and I'll turn deeply, deeply unkind
just to spare what's still alive
in my heart

I could hear you sob and moan
for someone you actually
loved to come home
or to reappear in a good dream
stayed away until morning came
saw all them stars and satellites
slowly fade into pale blue
as if ashamed
of what everyday does to you

nowhere's clearer,
I doubt nowhere's clearer tonight
I'm sorry, alright
it's me again,
me against the world against you
I will lose too

trust and betrayals
tools to delay us
getting away with all our great things
all the little evil doings
we're falling off
maps and mountains
