lyrics

Caveman

I've got maps on my walls from places I've been but won't ever go again.
I've got masks on my walls from people I've been, but won't ever be again.
I'm never alone in my head, hear voices from afar.
Fingers pointed at me, 'just who do you think you are?'

I'm just a caveman, I'm out of my depth,
How could the waves come looking for me?
I'm just a caveman, I'm out of my depth,
Pulled into these waters when all I know is land.

Don't understand.

A rational animal swimming in irrational plans.
Thinking thoughts that would empty the world, but fill him in.
Questions heavier than the sky...oh my, oh why?

I'm just a caveman, I'm out of my depth,
How could the waves come looking for me?
I'm just a caveman, I'm out of my depth,
Looking for some shade but all I see is sky.

Oh why, oh why?

Ominous clouds bring glad tidings from afar.

For this caveman, a ship-wrecked caveman,
For this caveman, “Don't want to go back,” caveman. .
