Thumbtack Lyrics

THUMBTACK



Here's the town we live in

This is how the land lays
out

I bought a map

So I could fing my way around / way
around



Taped the map on the wall

Studied every avenue

I Found
my way around

Tried to feel at home for once



We worked out a
system

When one of us would leave

A thumbtack stuck showing 

where
we were going



All the time time, you wore a hole

The same place
tacked over and over

And I never go there, I never go there



But
through that hole, you see 

My faith in you boring deeper and deeper


Finally through the wall



Map began to rip apart

I watched it
fall to the floor

I didn't bother moving my thumbtack any more
