Should Have Known

from This Is A Phase by Little Yellow Dog

lyrics

I'm scared of my own words. Every time I try to speak, they just get worse.
I'm a finger trap.

My voice, it sounds so thin. I'm a bungle of letters. I remember when.
You ripped me apart.

Now I can't stand, with you on my heart, anymore.

Then the night holds its breath. Perched beside me keeping my mind in check, waiting for my fall.

Well I can't wait for that call anymore.

Because I should have tried better. I should have known. Mountains won't move on their own. You've got to push them along.

I try to be real kind. I'm holding back kicks and cusses. They're all on my mind.
Brother I love you.

I found the great divide between what you want what you get and what you find.
Hey I'm talking to you.

Now what about these wishes? Are they true anymore?

Because I should have tried better. I should have known. Mountains won't move on their own. You've got to push them along.
