J. Mascis - Can I Lyrics

Can I lonely, lonely, lonely all the time?
Can I feel the way that there's no peace to find?
Can the way it looks be all it really means?
Can we take a step towards something we can be?

Can I go to bed?
Can I go instead, some place we can hide?
Can I go to sleep?
Is there a dream where I could find out what's inside?

Lots of time is spent in places we can't go
'Cause you want with me, is still I don't really know
If it's time, we're wasting time, something to do
But it's all been wasted, nothing [Incomprehensible]

But can I be the time?
Can I free the one who always knows the sign?
Can I work it through?
Can I tippy-toe on the way I wanna do?

I've been lost and lonely, still I made it through
If I lose again then there's nothing to do
If to pardon me you mean you wait and see
'Cause the waiting is what brings me to my knees

But can I be a [Incomprehensible]
Tell me where to stop and let it go away
But if I had the [Incomprehensible]
Is it everything I need to make you stay?
