about

This song is either about finding the person you were always supposed to be with...the person you've been waiting for all of your life, but God had to move all the right pieces into the right places at the right times and you had to wait, wait, wait until you and they were the people you had to be for it to happen... Or it's about Geocaching. Or both.

lyrics

Standing in the cold
searching for something.
It could be anything.
The smell of mildew
and her cheap perfume.
This could be everything.

Found a locket. Put it in a pocket.
Let’s keep looking. I’m always looking.
And where we’re going,
I don’t care for knowing.
Open me up. I am nothing.

Beautiful… Beautiful disaster…
A train-wreck at the station.
Here it comes.

Walking empty streets.
I think I found it.
Imagine that.
The taste of her skin, warm…
Vanilla, sweat, and nicotine…
Cold beer and regret.

This might work or it might hurt.
This could all be a brilliant mistake.
Michael Penn, Pink Floyd, and Townshend
have the perfect words
for if my heart should break.

Beautiful… Beautiful disaster…
A shipwreck on still water.
Here we go…

But I want her. Of course I want her.
I want the image that I see in my head.
And that’s not fair, because that’s not her
and it wouldn’t be the woman in my bed.
But I’ve got high hopes
here at the end of my rope
that’s wrapped around my throat
waiting for a fall.
I’m a misanthrope,
but I’ve learned to cope,
and I know that you just can’t lose them all.

Beautiful… Beautiful…
Whatever happens…

Beautiful…

Etc.
