| [00:20.129] |
I've been away for far too long |
| [00:22.636] |
I've had my mind wrapped around this one song |
| [00:25.526] |
I heard last week on the radio while |
| [00:28.900] |
Driving near that place we used to go |
| [00:34.518] |
Where the track homes all look the same |
| [00:37.269] |
With the roofs and the tiles and the similar frames |
| [00:40.322] |
All these streets are so wide and these cars are so lame |
| [00:43.561] |
And on every block I heard the whisper of your name |
| [00:52.450] |
I spent so many evenings in my head |
| [00:55.277] |
I'd lie alone on an unmade bed |
| [00:58.248] |
Counting the minutes like numbered clocks |
| [01:00.852] |
Should I call, should I write, should I read, should I stop? |
| [01:03.927] |
I'm a child, I'm a ghost, I'm a slur, I'm a boast |
| [01:06.844] |
I'm a prince, I'm a king, I'm a ryhme, I'm a ring |
| [01:09.752] |
I'm unable to sleep, I'm unable to sing |
| [01:12.908] |
I'm a desperate and lonely, frightened, unholy thing |
| [01:21.493] |
And you'd say la la la I'm so glad I'm over you |
| [01:28.598] |
As you reach for your drink and you tell me you like my shoes |
| [01:34.518] |
And I smile like a wretch, there's not much else I can do |
| [01:37.588] |
I say I know what you mean, yeah it's weird for me too |
| [01:40.477] |
Besides what would I sing about if I had you? |
| [01:48.451] |
Kinda sounds like la la la... |
| [02:01.633] |
La la la... |
| [02:17.174] |
I think maybe it was Radiohead |
| [02:19.768] |
That had this weird little beat and a keyboard instead |
| [02:23.052] |
Of guitar playing chords, I remember how bored |
| [02:25.739] |
You would get with those bands |
| [02:27.450] |
You always said they play the same three chords |
| [02:37.922] |
And you'd dance around in your t-shirt and sing |
| [02:40.692] |
Don't you love Modest Mouse and adore Promise Ring? |
| [02:43.957] |
Don't you wish that you could just avoid everything? |
| [02:46.952] |
Join a band, go on tour, and think of me when you sing? |
| [02:55.417] |
And I'd think la la la yeah that sounds okay to me |
| [03:02.179] |
And you'd fall on the bed and I'd fall down to my knees |
| [03:08.541] |
And I'd smile like my life depended on it |
| [03:11.275] |
That's so weird I was mostly right about that |
| [03:14.081] |
Always eager to love and eager to leave |
| [03:23.102] |
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la... |
| [03:50.730] |
And I'd think la la la all these songs are so untrue |
| [03:57.237] |
As I stare at this space inside of you |
| [04:03.617] |
And we don't belong and it sounds so wrong |
| [04:06.131] |
And you're beautiful with that gray stuff on |
| [04:09.332] |
I think yeah okay but maybe it's just the song |
| [04:15.699] |
And I miss you but it might just be the song |
| [04:21.228] |
