Dinosaur Jr.

The lights exploded
She stood burning in front of me
She ripped my heart out and gave it to me
My eyes wouldnt open, cemented to her face
Have I begun a feeble chase?
Ill be down, Ill be around
Ill be hanging where eventually youll have to be
Ill just stare and hope youll care
Its only everything standing in front of me
I know what you did to me
I know what you did was wrong
Youre allowed to torture me
Wait a moment until Im gone
I know youre the ticket, you gotta be
cause I let you be alone for long
Got to be so completely
Got to be so I cant hang on
Ill be down, Ill be around
Ill be hanging where eventually youll have to be
Ill just stare and hope youll care
Its only everything standing in front of me
Ill be down, Ill be around
Ill be hanging where eventually youll have to be
Theyre not there, youre standing there
Now youll have to decide the fate of my sanity
