[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]
