I met someone like Jesus in the spring of '98 He was so full of love and I was so full of hate So I nailed him on a cross where he belonged told myself it's what he would have wanted all along and I drove into the night looking for something to burn Oh how I love these little parables that I never cared to learn And I don't know what this feeling is but it's just dripping through me There's always something in the corner of my life that I cannot quite see
And I'm not sleeping well, all my dreams are so real I dreamed I set fire to my house, watched the great beams come crashing down And later on I was standing in the ashes of the stairs They asked me what happened, it was an accident I said And I don't know what all this means and I don't care, it's nothing to me But there was something in the corner of that dream that I could not quite see
And there's a happy family snapshot when you were very small But there were visits to the doctor, you can't remember what for The curtains drawn in silence on a summer's afternoon And the flies buzzing in the room And you don't know what this feeling is and you can't explain it to me But there was something in that family photo that you cannot quite see And I don't know what all this means but it's just dripping through me There's always something in the corner of our lives that we cannot quite see
