Kevin Devine - Tried To Fall In Love (My Head Got In The Way) Lyrics

Tried to watch the band but my head got in the way
Picking them apart while they cosplay across the stage

Where was the fire?
Where was the urgency, the life?
The wolf at the doorstep?
The raging against the dying light?
I tried to watch the band but I couldn't

Try to wash my hands but I can't get past my face
Staring through myself while the truck stop melts away

Who was the stranger
Moving around inside my life?
Could he account for
The blankness that blanketed my eyes?
Tried to wash my hands but I couldn't get past my face

What was the answer?
Where was the pin to pick the lock?
Why was I waiting?
When would I finally wake up?

I tried to fall in love but I couldn't get past my pain
I tried to fall in love but my head got in the way

(Hard to hold when the hole is at the center
Grows and grows and it's never getting better)
