The Shins Lyrics
"Sphagnum Esplanade"

How lovely a find that's entered my mind along this mossy trail
And how coyly it hides the truth about how it is we can ask how

Crowds jump to their deaths from the bridges I drive by tonight
They missed out on it all
The whole gist there as they fall
You're not expected to know why in such a short time

There are stanzas never meant to rhyme

Far better a find it is if we try to span the weird divide
With no real rationale
We step out of bounds and think we've escaped the lies

And we're marched so long
but we've much farther than we've gone to go
And we'll make a new ship
Christen it for the trip with a toddler at the helm this time

There are things we never will define...

Crowds jump to their deaths from the bridges I drive by tonight
But they missed on it all
The whole gist there as they fall
You're not expected to know why in such a short time

There are things we never will define...
