Lyrics

[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]
