R.E.M. - Discoverer Lyrics

Hey baby this is not a challenge
It just means that I love you
As much as I always said I did
I was wrong
I have been laughable wrong
Sandpaper, paper, marche, chalk
And hung out wet

On the city and your skin now
I didn’t have to be afraid
I didn’t have to feel so stupid
I can see myself
I can feel


[Chorus:]
That just the slightest bit of finesse
Might have made a little less mess
But it was what it was
Let’s all get on with it now
Discover (repeats)
Laughing
Discover

Floating across Houston
This is where I am
I see the city rise up tall
The opportunities and possibilities
I have never felt so called
Remember the vodka espresso
Night of discovery
Remember that

Laughing
Discover

Oh how I look back and reflect
How I felt it
How it set
I don’t have to feel so wrong now
I wake up dreaming saffron
Turmeric and brass

[Chorus]
