Until I Am Whole by The Mountain Goats Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sunset on Snohomish
Burn the tree line down
Hold my hopes underwater
Stand there and watch them drown
Fishing out their bodies
From the bathroom sink
Leave them in a bucket
'Til they start to stink
[Chorus]
I think I'll stay here
'Til I feel whole again
I don't know when
[Verse 2]
Trout swim past the fishing lines
Sky gets dark and close
Cars start up and make
Their nightly exodus
On a picnic bench alone
Watch the sky go dark
Dig my nails into my hands
Hope it leaves a mark
[Chorus]
I think I'll stay here
'Til I feel whole again
I don't know when
Sunset on Snohomish
Burn the tree line down
Hold my hopes underwater
Stand there and watch them drown
Fishing out their bodies
From the bathroom sink
Leave them in a bucket
'Til they start to stink
[Chorus]
I think I'll stay here
'Til I feel whole again
I don't know when
[Verse 2]
Trout swim past the fishing lines
Sky gets dark and close
Cars start up and make
Their nightly exodus
On a picnic bench alone
Watch the sky go dark
Dig my nails into my hands
Hope it leaves a mark
[Chorus]
I think I'll stay here
'Til I feel whole again
I don't know when
