Graham Dern - Where I've Always Been Lyrics

Out on the edge of my awareness, there's a melody
I was hesitant to let it in
So it moved out from underneath what I thought I knew
It moved me up from where I've always been

I know that comfort interrupts this calling
Until it's wasted
And if I contemplate the meaning long enough
I'll erase it

I'll erase it all again
Settle back in
Figure it out
I cherish nothing at it's source
I've been headed for
Something cynical

Every moment on it's own seems so irrelevant
So I disengage and start again
But resolutions never realized in the present tense
And so I'm back to where I've always been

I know that comfort interrupts this calling
Until it's wasted
And if I contemplate the meaning long enough
I'll erase it

I'll erase it all again
Settle back in
Figure it out
I cherish nothing at it's source
I've been headed for
Something cynical
