lyrics

The grand return, blown in with a summer rain. We take the exit off the 101, pass the looming evergreens, the old parade of freaks and fools standing at the bus stops on their way to school. What was I expecting coming back? A little pomp, some circumstance? Olympia’s a place where you go to stand still. Nothing ever happens/nothing ever will. It’s the same dogged circle of big questions, little answers—a cadre of bad haircuts who want to matter, who want to make change! in a place that stays the same. I meet Steve at the coffee shop. I wave my hands, I don’t say much. Sometimes my words fail me, like when the doom’s been creeping back in. And the rain doesn’t help. It’s been a while since I felt like I was someone else. A little out of control. And maybe that’s what’s got me in this foul, foul mood. The grand return! I thought I had better vision, or enough that I had learned to let go and feel strong again. They’re old patterns that I’m falling in. Being here, it’s the same as when I left/ I feel the same as when I left/ it’s like I never left. The grand return! What was I expecting? What have I learned?
