'Till you lost after this time
Has to make you cry
But you don't and you don't know why
Trying not to solve this
Doesn't mean it's not that bad
And everyone gets through the night
And everyone wakes up alright
And the fear you feel will pass
Then a calmness that will last
We will learn to drift off fast
Another nowhere lullaby
You can rest or you can try
And this waste, it shines in every way
Yeah, this waste, it shines in every way
You make me laugh every single day
And you hardly make me cry
Made fifteen years fly by
Still here and I don't know why
Has it been that long?
Where's the time and the table gone?
Hope it's longer than that now
Don't forget we don't know how
And everyone gets feeling down
Everybody understands
We're all doing what we can
Another nowhere lullaby
You can rest or you can try
And this waste, it shines in every way
Yeah, this waste, it shines in every way
Built to Spill is an American indie rock band that formed in Boise, Idaho, in 1992. Centered on lead vocalist and guitarist Doug Martsch, the only permanent member, Built to Spill has released nine full-length albums since its inception.
Martsch originally envisioned the band to feature a changing set of backing musicians for each album, but eventually settled with a stable lineup for over a decade before returning to his original plan in 2012. Having received consistent critical acclaim throughout their career, three of the band's albums—There's Nothing Wrong with Love, Perfect from Now On and Keep It Like a Secret—placed in the top 50 of Pitchfork's Top 100 Albums of the 1990s list. Keep It Like a Secret was the band's first album to chart on the Billboard 200 in the United States, while their 2009 release There Is No Enemy became Built to Spill's highest-charting album of their career.
