lyrics

i keep expecting someone to find me
guided by the compass in my heart
i'd be the wine cork if you'd be the needle
cause i've given up guessing which way to point myself

i have lost my sense of direction
don't let me let myself down.

i'll take your spare room i'll make it my study
for all things of cartographic ink
armed with star charts and drawing constellations
i will map out the safer paths

redesign the cosmos somehow
don't let me let myself down

read the signs in the darkness somehow
don't let me let myself down

are we unpretentious now?
are we really that affable?
have we been stuck on the waiting list far too long?
should impatience take over--should we run (run run run)?

just don't let me let myself down.

(there's nothing that scares me more than a beating heart)
(so don't let me stop short before it starts)
(so light the candles, incant of the black arts if you will)
(just don't let me douse the match before the spark)
