Lyrics

[00:14.39] From my tape deck there's a recklessness
[00:17.21]
[00:17.77] Inflections of the world we want
[00:20.58]
[00:21.40] All my friends, my rusty truck
[00:24.08] We're just specks of love, directionless
[00:27.14]
[00:27.82] Call this band just what we want
[00:30.69] We can change the name from month to month
[00:34.00] Four guitars and zero drums
[00:37.24] We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk
[00:40.56]
[00:46.25] In a world post punk
[00:48.01]
[00:53.96] My friend had an old guitar
[00:56.44]
[00:57.16] He took some lessons didn't get very far
[00:59.71]
[01:00.34] An Ibanez with one knob stuck
[01:03.34] Said, "You can have that thing for fifty bucks"
[01:06.16]
[01:06.86] Laura got a bass but it got no amp
[01:09.60]
[01:10.17] Borrowed skills but never gave it back
[01:12.74]
[01:13.42] Luke is just learning how to strum
[01:16.36] But since he was the worst
[01:18.12] We made him play the drums
[01:20.92]
[01:22.60] Play the drums
[01:23.98]
[01:26.31] You may find
[01:26.99]
[01:27.74] In the palm
[01:28.37]
[01:29.24] Of your hand
[01:30.12]
[01:30.92] There's a flame
[01:31.61]
[01:32.55] As it burns
[01:33.60]
[01:34.17] As it climes
[01:35.23]
[01:35.80] As it turns
[01:36.79]
[01:37.41] To a blaze
[01:38.16]
[01:39.10] Well this flame
[01:39.97]
[01:40.59] It won't last
[01:41.66]
[01:42.22] Here it comes
[01:43.15]
[01:43.90] Hold it close
[01:44.72]
[01:45.47] Cause this blaze
[01:46.58]
[01:47.21] Can be fast
[01:48.09]
[01:48.77] Set it free now there it goes
[01:51.52]
[02:05.81] Luke's mom said that after school
[02:08.24]
[02:08.98] We could rehearse in the living room
[02:11.54]
[02:12.10] But that sure didn't last too long
[02:15.22] Guess she didn't know we'd play Fugazi songs
[02:18.04]
[02:18.79] We played these songs in the talent show
[02:21.72] And all of the girls would be in the front row
[02:25.17] But in the end we just chickened out
[02:27.79]
[02:28.41] Because we can't sing
[02:30.10] We can only shout
[02:32.91]
[02:34.29] Only shhh
[02:37.06]
[02:37.87] You may find
[02:38.68]
[02:39.42] In the palm
[02:40.18]
[02:40.87] Of your hand
[02:41.74]
[02:42.50] There's a flame
[02:43.31]
[02:43.93] As it burns
[02:45.11]
[02:45.62] As it climes
[02:46.56]
[02:47.13] As it turns
[02:48.13]
[02:48.81] To a blaze
[02:49.68]
[02:50.63] Well this flame
[02:51.56]
[02:52.14] It won't last
[02:52.95]
[02:53.70] Here it comes
[02:54.70]
[02:55.38] Hold it close
[02:56.14]
[02:56.82] Well this blaze
[02:57.70]
[02:59.00] Will be fast
[02:59.63]
[03:00.19] Set it free now there it goes
