    Lyrics:
    I was not ready for the road
    I was so discontent to wear that heavy load
    And so I got down on my knees
    I made a sucker's prayer
    A grim bode of baudelaire before
    And when nobody did respond
    I took my glasses off and went to find a pond
    Stuffing rocks into the pockets of my pants
    And when I waded in
    Those currents carried them away
    I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
    I've been so long lonely and it's getting me down
    I wanna throw my body in the river and drown
    I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
    So if you're lost along the way
    And if you're thinking that will always be the case
    Won't you listen to my plea?
    You'll make a sucker's prayer
    Just go and leave it that-a-way
    I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
    I've been so long lonely and it's getting me down
    I wanna throw my body in the river and drown
    I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
    I wanna love somebody but I don't know how

    Well, I have been a huge fan of the Decemberists for years. I can sure see a big difference in the way the the band has evolved. This album sure is a lot different sounding then past albums like “castaways and cutouts”. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad album, It just means the Decemberists are changing and evolving. And I still enjoy all their music. In fact I can easily say they are my favorite band.

    One of the smartest songs I've heard in a while. It tells a cautionary tale and warns people to not just put stock in just praying, and feelin sorry for yourself isn't gonna get you where you need to be. It takes effort. It's meant to be difficult at first, but you'll figure it out.

      @G0DofRock I don't believe that.
      People are just numb and tired and overwhelmed, and THEY all feel like no one else cares, but we DO.
      I DO. Despite wanting to end myself several times a month, I CARE about everyone else, and if I could help aby one of you I would- it's just a demoralizing American dystopia out there, and people are tired and lonely and FED UP.
      But some of us still care, even if it costs us everything to do so.
      Please know ~I~ CARE. About you, about literally everyone alive.
      Because I want someone to care, even if I can't accept the sympathy.
      We have to help each other rise above, or all of this suffering means nothing...

      @michaelbailey4442 I am still here, haha.
      Still fighting.
      That's about all I can say, though...
      It is what it is.
      I understand it better now.
      And that's not nothing.
      Thank you, for CARING enough to comment...
      You are a nice person!
