[00:09.83]The evening before at a literary party,
[00:13.91]With warm intellectuals who listen to Francoise Hardy,
[00:18.16]Asked a poet about his summer, he said up and down
[00:22.37]Cleverly transforming adverbs into nouns.
[00:26.56]And I thought it probable that there had been more of the last,
[00:30.66]but being socially intelligent, I changed the subject fast,
[00:34.90]We had a card made of gold, could have bought us anything,
[00:39.27]But there was no time before we had to get up and sing.
[00:43.52]And I wished I was Andrew Bird just younger,
[00:47.68]I wished that this crush would last a little bit longer,
[00:52.29]And in spite of the dreadful design,
[00:55.68]I remember fragments of an island,
[00:59.49]With a fake coastline.
[01:17.68]The next few days during shifting weather,
[01:21.57]Enjoying the sun or hoping it would get better,
[01:25.57]i saw two people kissing at the funeral,
[01:29.81]They were not good-looking, but oh so beautiful.
[01:34.17]We stole three pens and a poncho and got out of that tent,
[01:38.47]To go play some ping-pong with balls from heaven sent,
[01:42.52]I wrote letters to you whenever I could find the time,
[01:46.72]And they were touching like nothing, but far from sublime.
[01:51.26]And I wished I was Andrew Bird just younger,
[01:55.36]I wished that this crush would last a little bit longer,
[01:59.61]And in spite of the dreadful design,
[02:03.35]I remember fragments of an island,
[02:07.58]With a fake coastline.
[02:33.97]There's a bridge you have to cross as the rain starts to pour,
[02:38.42]You're in the middle of eight thousand people or more
[02:44.44]It might seem forced at first but you get into it after a while,
[02:49.31]And then to come inside and see a man with such style.
[02:53.20]And I wished I was Andrew Bird just younger,
[02:57.52]I wished that this crush would last a little bit longer,
[03:01.53]And in spite of the dreadful design,
[03:05.32]I remember fragments of an island,
[03:08.99]With a fake coastline.
