Spires (Pre Production 4-Track) Songtext
von Umphrey’s McGee

You ask for reason
I′d say why?
It tastes like treason outside
I've been retreating in rewind

Born in believin my right
There is no seething insight
I need to change this frame of mind

If I fall I′ll land up
We've been retreating, press rewind
If I fall I'll land up

I ask for meaning
You′d say why?
More than deceiving you′ll try
I've been retreating, you don′t mind


Born in believing my right
There is no seeing inside
We're just a story to reread not to rewrite

And the echo of a voice
Leaves you with no choice
When you should stay out

The sun it seems
Is lifted from my dreams
A better way to scream when you can′t shout

What's done is done
It′s true for everyone
Infrequency becomes the subject around you

Spelled out so plain
Is the meaning still the same?
When everyone complains the blame is on you

If I fall I'll land up
We've been retreating, press rewind
If I fall I′ll land up
