Public Library Commute
Back on the Fence
[Intro: Becky and the Birds]
I am back on the fence again
[Healy]
Okay, yeah okay
Okay, yeah I'm okay
I'm just back on the fence
[Verse 1: Becky and the Birds]
I'm moving backwards in slow motion
I should be wiser, but here I am again
Slipping on frozen moments
I know they're not for me
So I creep
Maybe if I'm staying for a moment I will feel loved
But maybe it's all for nothing
Maybe if I'm staying 'til the morning I will feel something
I'm back on the fence
[Chorus]
Another week
Another year
Eventually I'll disappear
It's easy to fight it
Out of sight out of mind it
I'm sleeping through sirens again
I'm back on the fence
[Verse 2: Healy]
Splitting hairs like atoms
And I can't fathom this will-o-the-wisp
Spinnin' in vicious circles
Wonderin' when I'll give in again
All my friends would say there's more to this
There's more to this than
Skippin' stoned (Skippin' stoned), tripping home
My back on the fence
(Ohh-ooh)
I'm back on the fence
(Ohh-ooh)
I'm back on the fence
[Outro]
Another week, another year
Eventually I'll disappear
It's easy to fight it
Out of sight out of mind it
Run from my fears
I'm tethered in heather grays and evergreens
I'm inside out or in between
I'm in a daze, it's just a phase
Said the same thing just last weekend
