What I Could Gather - The American Scene

I never meant to make it what it wasn’t

I never could recall what I was missing

But I’d let you know when I was uncomfortable, uncomfortable

I’d let you know when I was coming home in pieces

If I ever had the attention of your conscience

I didn’t want it, I wanted a quicker way out

I wanted it then, I want it now

I I ever had the intention to be honest

I wouldn’t call this anything

But what I see when you’re not watching me

I never meant to make it what it wasn’t

I never could recall what I was missing

But I’d let you know when I was uncomfortable, uncomfortable

I’d let you know when I was coming home in pieces

If I could kill it off,

If I could make the call

I would, I would and I wouldn’t

I would, I would and I wouldn’t

If I could spell it out,

If I could live without it

I would, I would and I wouldn’t

I would, I would and I wouldn’t

I never meant to make it what it wasn’t

I never could recall what I was missing

But I’d let you know when I was uncomfortable, uncomfortable

I’d let you know when I was coming home in pieces
