The Recluse Songtext
von Cursive

I wake alone in a woman′s room I hardly know
I wake alone and pretend that I am finally home
The room is littered with her books and notebooks
I imagine what they say like, "Shoo fly, don't bother me

And I can hardly get myself out of her bed
For fear of never lying in this bed again
Oh Christ, I′m not that desperate
Oh no, oh God, I am


How'd I end up here to begin with? I don't know
Why do I start what I can′t finish?
Oh, please don′t barrage me with the questions
To all those ugly answers
My ego's like my stomach
It keeps shitting what I feed it

But maybe I don′t want to finish anything anymore
Maybe I can wait in bed till she comes home
And whispers, "You're in my web now
I′ve come to wrap you up tight till it's time to bite down

I wake alone in a woman′s room I hardly know
I wake alone and pretend that I am finally home

You're in my web now
