Evaporated -- In my ear today...Haunting melody

Evaporated

by Ben Folds

What I've kept with me

And what I've thrown away

And where the hell I've ended up

On this glary random day

Where the things I've really cared about

Just left along the way

For being too pent up and proud

Woke up way too late

Feeling hungover and old

And the sun was shining bright

And I walked barefoot down the road

Started thinking about my old man

Want to get into a car and go anywhere

Here I stand, sad and free

I can't cry, I can't see

What I've done

God, what have I done

Don't you know I'm numb, man?

I can't feel a thing at all

Now it's all smiles and business these days

I'm indifferent to the loss

I have faith that there's a soul somewhere

That's leading me around

I wonder if she knows

Which way is up and which is down

I poured my heart out

I poured my heart out

It evaporated ... see?

Blind man at a canyon's edge

Of a panoramic scene

Or maybe I'm a kite that's flying high and random

Dangling a string

Or slumped over in a vacant room

Head on a stranger's knee

I'm sure back home they think I've lost my mind
