Текст песни First Day Back - Remastered 2023 - Braid

So frustrated that something complicated
Could hang over my head
On my first day back
And already I'm treading on unsteady ground
Strike me down or check me out

So elated, this soul so understated
Could be making eyes at me
But first I'll be
Another innocent victim looking for some
Sense of sympathy

In the middle of a state
The sorry story of a star
That goes, "Here's my heart"
It's a start, and if anything
We haven't seen everything

In the middle of a stage
There's a girl and a guitar
But there's your car
Have we forgotten who we are?
We haven't seen anything

So I'm told that Chicago's cold
Can't be cool as California
For the first time ever
I feel severed yet smooth removed
If you approve, check it out

Yeah

To what do I owe (yeah) this attention? (Yeah)
I'm only half of the reflection (yeah)
And the conversation goes (goes)
Oh, never mind
Oh, never mind
To what do I owe (yeah) this tension? (Yeah)
If deception's fine (yeah), then this is divine

Divine, divine, divine, divine
Divine, divine, divine, divine, divine

My first day back
And already I've settled on
My weak front
My weak front
My weak front
