How the Hell Did We Get Here? Songtext

von Matt Skiba

How the Hell did we get here?
We've been walking in circles all night long.
Never held on to my fears,
But it seems like you sensed them all along.
How the Hell did we get here,
Like three blind gnats lost in the lights?
With our destiny unclear, we're quiet as cathedral mice on lithium.

Now I've gotta level with you baby, I've taken all that I can.
You came and went and you left me crazy, off in a faraway land.
Now I've gotta level with you baby, I'm lost and alone.
At the end of this hallway, maybe, this house of leaves is a home.
Whooaahhh

How the Hell did we get here?
We've been spiraling downward now, for days.
Never once shedding our tears, til my sense of direction went away.
How the Hell did we get here, three little pigs drugged gagged and bound?
Lycanthropic and sincere, you came to blow our door straight down, and house.

Now I've gotta level with you baby, I've taken all that I can.
You came and went and you left me crazy, off in a faraway land.
Now I've gotta level with you baby, I'm lost and alone.
At the end of this hallway, maybe, this house of leaves is a home.

You float just over me, I'm still freezing in my bones.
It steals my insanity, cannot puke through your telephone.
And now every other summer, they'll line up by the door,
To wish you well in Hell forevermore, forevermore
