EXPANSION
performed on:
A sweetly intimate song with atmospheric guitar and glittering keyboards that defies its weighty lyrics. This was actually one of the quietest songs to regularly be heard in 2001 setlists; the arrangement was close to unchanged. Nick Parker said at one point that this was his favorite song on the album, but he's since claimed that "The Beauty" is the best song he's ever written.
I FOUND A PLACE WHERE I CAN GO
I FOUND A PLACE TO TALK
I FOUND FRIENDS AND I FOUND THINGS
TO HELP ME COPE
I DON'T LIKE THEM
I DON'T LOVE THEM
BUT I'M ALWAYS EXPANDING
AND I NEED THEM
HERE TO DISCUSS THE PAST
HERE TO DISCUSS OUR LIVES & LOVES
HERE TO DISCUSS YOU
HERE TO DISCUSS ME
I'M ALWAYS EXPANDING
EXPANDING
THIS IS WHERE I NEED TO BE
THIS IS WHAT I NEED RIGHT NOW
THIS IS A MISTAKE
THIS IS GONNA KILL ME
AND ALL THE WHILE
A FACE IN A GRAVEYARD
THE GIRL ON THE COUCH
THE THINGS I SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE
THE THINGS I SHOULD NOT BE SAYING
I DON'T LIKE THEM
I DON'T LOVE THEM
BUT I'M ALWAYS EXPANDING
AND I NEED THEM
AND IT'S TOO MUCH NOW
