Sphagnum Esplanade Lyrics - Singles - The Shins

How lovely a find 

That's entered my mind 

Along this mossy trail 

How coyly it hides 

The truth about how it is 

We can't ask how 

Crowds jump to their death 

From the bridge as I drive by tonight 

And they've missed out on it all 

The whole gist there as they fall 

You're not expected to know why it's such a short time 

And there are stanzas never meant to rhyme

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Far better I find 

It is when we try to span 

The weird divide 

With no real rational 

We step out of bounds 

And think and escape their lies 

We've marched so long 

And we've much farther than we've gone to go 

We're making a new ship 

Christen it for the trip 

With a toddler at the helm this time 

And there are things we never will define 

Photos 

Crowds jump to their deaths 

From the bridge as I drive by tonight 

And they missed out on it all 

The whole gist there as they fall 

You're not expected to know why it's such a short time 

And there are things we never will define
