Now I Understand the Blues

from Pyramid Theories by Mink's Miracle Medicine

lyrics

Why do I need anybody?
I only needed myself
When I was crying alone in my bedroom
Praying for somebody else
Someone to open the door frame
And let all the cold air in, oh, it reminds me of my expectations
Of warming up this old house again.

I went and took all the mirrors down,
Loaded them up in my car
Cause every time I really look at myself I
See exactly who you are.

Fog on the hillside, when the old ways died,
I was barely 22.
Though I’m only a little older now, I think I finally understand the blues
The way it grabs a hold of you, makes you do things you never thought
You were gonna do, turn the inside out of you too,
Now I understand the blues.

Why do I tell everybody I only needed myself
When I was stranded alone on the roadside,
Praying for someone to help?
I put my hands in my pockets, filled as much as I could fit,
I started walking alone, ten o’clock at night,
Nobody came down that road again.

I went and pulled all the mirrors in
Plastic bag in the door
I wrote a note saying I’m broke down so they
Know what their delay is for..

Fog on the hillside, when the old ways died,
I was barely 22.
Though I’m only a little older now, I think I finally understand the blues
The way it grabs a hold of you, makes you do things you never thought
You were gonna do, turn the inside out of you too,
Now I understand the blues.

Why do I need anybody?
Why do I need anybody?
Why do I need anybody?
Why do I need anybody?
