"awesome" (indie pop) - where did you go lyrics

[intro: voice 1, voice 2, voice 3]
profile of 16 year old girl, name withheld at family’s request (scene: two people standing on stage, behind them we see the ocean) (in downtown seattle, take i+5 south to i+90)
height: 5′ 7″ (a girl breaks the surface of the water like a dolphin) (cuttin’ through the cascade to the deli)
weight: one hundred and twelve pounds
eyes: gray+blue (behind the ocean is kansas or nebraska from a bird’s point of view) (at the junction of i+14, have lunch at the daisy chain café)
hair: hazel, which did not respond to brushing (actor 1 pulls out a clipboard) (a waitress will recommend the meatloaf, enjoy)
subject displayed a severe fixation with water (the girl grows scales and fins before crashing back into the waves)
we offered a glass of it, she put her hands and feet in (in the mornin’, you’ll pull into a truck stop)
the subject’s father had prohibited her from the seashore (behind the ocean, we zoom in on kansas or nebraska to find a landfill) (doesn’t have a name, just a ugly sign sayin’ “eat, good”)
but i drove her to the bluff, above the harbor (in it, we see stuffed animals we used to own) (the waffles are like a small piece of heaven)
it was here she ran from my car (and bottles containing messages)
and off the cliff
looking down, all i saw was rocks and spray (seabirds circle above the audience) (route 9 flattens into the bridge)
it was at this moment i knew my career was over (a storm cloud appears) (at exit 238, pick up a hawaiian hoagie from big barb’s hawaiian hoagie hut)
then she surfaced and waved (the birds hack at it with their beaks)
i waved back (carving four words)
and at this moment, i realized i’d fallen in love with her (the following sentence is projected, “where did you go?”)(put your hand out the window)
and everyone she met fell in love with her (through the letters in a cloud, something hits the stage) (feel a difference?)
and at this moment, i decide to dive off the cliff (but no one is looking) (this is the state of delaware)
and at this moment, i remembered i can’t swim (a bird dives in to the landfill, actor 1 smiles helplessly)
there’s a berry that grows in costal climates (if you’ve got good alignment, let go of the wheel and drive straight as an arrow east for six hundred miles)
its red color is so vivid, it’s never been captured in photographs (actor 2 lets go of the wheel)
that was her (the bird breaks the surface of the landfill like a dolphin, several people faint from the sheer)
beauty i couldn’t live up to, that’s the riddle of her, a fairytale (the great plains memorial highway, where you’re taking views)
you want her, the wanting of her is what keeps you from reaching (the bird carries a bottle in its beak, it drops and it explodes, the message inside asks)
why didn’t i learn to swim? (turnpike across the border into delaware)
if i had, would i have leapt off that? (the bird flies out to sea with the others, where they) (where the highway turns into route 27, and the)
never saw her again
she went missing
they found her clothes washed up on the
bridge over the salt marshes, where you can fish for seabass. some of the toughest
memories to shake, their colors so vivid they just sit there while
the cloud bursts, and the theatre fills with water, everyone is lifted
by some inhuman force
do each of us decide for ourselves or is it
like driving through a curtain of diamonds when the ocean mist hits your windshield and you see
things we’ll never understand
staring straight into a
weightlessness that mutes all sounds, and in this silence, there’s
birds overhead as you park the car, and you’re the only person
holding their breath, and watching stuffed animals floating past, and bottles, and
a girl with eyes like the sea, and skin made of pearl, and hair like a storm
you walk into the waves up to your hips, up to
each person to make sense of this when they can
swim with the currents, their confusion gone, their
feet touching bottom ’til the waves lift you inward
completely lost, holding on to
the tables and chairs, letting go of everything solid
which is why you’ve come here, for this
physical and psychological contradiction
overcome with rapture of the deep in the
dark places we as humans beings must
let the sight of the land recede. don’t fight it. don’t
ask the most basic question, don’t ask yourself
where did you go
when we needed
you most?
[verse 1]
where did you go when we needed you most?
where did you go when we needed you most?
where did you go when we needed you most?
where did you go when we needed you most?
where did you go when we needed you most?
where did you go when we needed you?

[outro]
where did you go?
