Modest Mouse - The World at Large

I like songs about drifters - books about the same
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane
Walked on off to another spot
I still haven’t gotten anywhere that I want
Did I want love? Did I need to know? 
Why does it always feel like I’m caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to death against the lights
Adding their breeze to the summer nights
Outside, water like air was great
I didn’t know what I had that day
Walk a little farther to another plan
You said that you did, but you didn’t understand

I know that starting over is not what life’s about
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn’t hear my mouth
