The Shins - Sphagnum Esplanade Lyrics

How lovely a find that's entered my mind along this mossy trail 
And how coyly it hides the truth about how it is we can ask how 

Crowds jump to their deaths from the bridges I drive by tonight 
They missed out on it all 
The whole gist there as they fall 
You're not expected to know why in such a short time 

There are stanzas never meant to rhyme 

Far better a find it is if we try to span the weird divide 
With no real rationale 
We step out of bounds and think we've escaped the lies 

And we're marched so long 
but we've much farther than we've gone to go 
And we'll make a new ship 
Christen it for the trip with a toddler at the helm this time 

There are things we never will define... 

Crowds jump to their deaths from the bridges I drive by tonight 
But they missed on it all 
The whole gist there as they fall 
You're not expected to know why in such a short time 

There are things we never will define...
