Lyrics Built to Spill

Built to Spill

Alarmed

In the hurry of the past

I forgot to make it last

Simple choices made too fast

By a dye I didn't cast

I'm alarmed and I can't help from

Crashing onto this island we've become

Words for fighting, words for fun

They've all melted into one

On the tip of every tongue

Like the new name for the sun

I'm alarmed and I can't recover from

Crashing onto this island we've become

Alright now, don't decide about that now

Oh, how can you blame the only one?

Ever stay, ever stay, ever stayed around, and you would

Never say, never say all the harm's been done

And you were all so gone, oh so long, so long

Did you make it all wrong, so wrong?

Did you wait oh, so long, so long?

Did you take it all wrong, so wrong?
