about

To me, this song is about (in ten words or less):

The destructive nature of our need for external validation

lyrics

The folding chairs are where I set my sights
The separation folds into night
But I can't sit you down until dark
No, I can't sit you down until dark

From the bottom come the light rays
But from the top come dozens of grays
And I can never open your eyes
No, I could never open your eyes

So, please, don't mistake my weakness for grace
No, please, don't mistake my weakness for grace

Tell me something beautiful now
Just close your lips and tell me right now
Because I can never read you right now
No, I can never read you right now

Just, please, don't mistake my weakness for grace
No, please, don't mistake my weakness for grace

Don't you know that you can turn me over?
Don't you know that you can just turn me over?
