See to Me

It's a cold northern rain
Two degrees above freezing day
Standing outside the Chinese
With a claw lamp to light my way

Sing to me now
There's no man who can show you how
There's reams of scrapbooks in my basement
Spiral staircase down

So pour it out (pour it out)
It's just a fairytale (fairytale)
You don't even trust yourself
You've got to mark your trail

Yeah, people from our past
Their appeal just don't last
Write them off for dead
And then you realize they die too fast

I'm supposed to be a rock
But I could not bear the shock
Haul a wreck at the airport
My nerves are all I got

So pour it out (pour it out)
It's just a fairytale (fairytale)
You can't convince yourself
That you're on the right trail

You see through my eyes
But you'll never see through me
But I wish you all the best
That I must confess
I did not think I passed or failed
But it should not be a test

So pour it out (pour it out)
It's just a fairytale (fairytale)
You don't even hear yourself
You're just whistling down the trail, yeah

You can see through me
