Come and see
I swear by now I’m playing time against my troubles, oh
Oh, I’m coming slow, but speeding
Do you wish for a dance
And while I’m in the front
My play on time is won
Oh, but the difficulty’s coming here
Yeah….

Yeah, I will go in this way
Oh, but I find my own way out
I won’t tell you what to be
Oh, but I’m coming to much more
Me
All at once the ghosts come by
Reeling in you now
Oh, tell me what if they came down crashing

Well, do you wish…
Remember when we used to dance for all the loneliness nobody notices now
Oh, begging slow, I’m coming…….
[whoahechokeohmanhefuckeduphard…]
[davespeak]
Good God! What happened there?
That was all me my, by myself, lost my damn mind, at a crucial emotional moment in the song!
Shit…
That’s sad…I’m sorry
[vocals]
Mmmm…this way
Oh, I wouldn’t take more than I need
What sort of man goes by
Well, I will bring you water
Why won’t you ever be glad
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
Why won’t you run into the rain and play
Let the tears splash all over
You…

[davespeak]
You know, there’s nothing quite as humbling as um, as just completely losing your mind in the middle of something right in public. Like, I think I would feel less embarrassed right now if I looked down and noticed I wasn’t wearing any pants. You know, I tell you, cause suddenly hearing, like thinking my hands are doing what they always did, you know just happily, comfortably going along and instead they’ve betrayed me. And, it just, I’m just, I just want to let you all know, so that you all know, that I was really embarrassed for a while and that’s why I was trying to hide behind this guitar. And I couldn’t, because I couldn’t FIT behind it, but if I could have fit behind it, I would have gotten behind it. If I could have gotten into it, I would have gotten into it. So, anyway, forgive me. Thank you.

I think, I think, I think, I think, really that, we have the nicest audience, because you guys forgave me for some…that was some outlandish schtuff that just happened in that. And then, I mean, Tim, you didn’t even look at me! Oh, for a while you thought it was some deep shit, right? He said “This is some major shit” and I was like over here, going (bangs on the guitar strings discordantly sitting here). I’m not gonna talk about it. I’m NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT IT.

No, having already humiliated myself enough, I don’t need to add anymore. SHUT UP! I’m not going to take my pants off! I can blame my hand for that whole thing and my voice and it’s not actually me, if you’re listening. Damn Fool! Get this one right and they won’t think you’re ? Now I’m gonna be afraid the whole night that I’m gonna dive off the edge again and Tim’s gonna be looking at me like this… (laughter) That was nice of you not to look at me that last song, by the way. Can I just say, when I looked at you, I mean you could have been just laughing over there, but you were nice enough not to show me that you’re laughing. And y’all were nice too. And everyone is very nice to me. SHUT UP! Would you be QUIET? Welcome to my…

main lyrics
Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles, oh
oh, I'm coming slow but speeding
do you wish a dance and while I'm in the front
the play on time is won
oh, but the difficulty's coming here

I will go in this way
and find my own way out
I won't tell you to be
but it's coming to much more
me
come down, the ghosts come back reeling in you now
oh, what if they came down crashing?
in a way I used to play for all of the loneliness that nobody notices now
oh, begging, slow, I'm coming here

Only waiting
I wanted to stay, I wanted to play, I wanted to love you
I'm only this far, and only tomorrow leads the way
I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head

Please, I wouldn't pass this by
oh, I wouldn't take any more than what sort of man goes by?
I will bring water
why won't you ever be glad it melts into wonder?
I came in praying for you
why won't you run into the rain and pray
and let tears splash all over you?
