I don’t want to see you like this
Burned out like all
Cathie candles
Marked up with the
Choir vandals
Reading, “destroy, destroy, destroy”
Two-speed cycle
Streamered handles
Evenings with the
Roman Scandals
I just want to be someone you know
What are you listening to?
- The Shins, you know them?
No.
- You gotta hear this song, It’ll change your life. I swear.
The sky turns black. My heart stopped for a moment. For a while there i was gone, when the sky turned black. We turn our backs.
My eyes dropped for a moment. For a while there i was gone, for a while there i was gone, when the sky turned black. When everyone else disappears, when everyone else is gone from here. When everyone else disappears, this is all i’ll hear: you are all i need you are all i need you are all i need you are all i need.
But it’s not all that easy, so maybe I should snap her up in a butterfly net and pin her down on a photograph album.
Well I am not worried, I just do the same things over and over and over again. But then I start to think about the consequences, because I don’t get no sleep, man I never sleep. And this time when kindness falls like rain. It washes me away. And Anna begins to change my mind. And everytime she sneezes, I think it’s love and, oh lord, I’m not ready for this sort of thing. She’s talking in her sleep. It’s keeping me awake. And Anna begins to toss and turn and toss. And every word is just nonsense but I understand and, oh lord, I’m not ready for this sort of thing. Her kidness bangs a gong, it’s moving me along. And Anna begins to fade away, it’s chasing me away, she just dissapears and, oh lord, I’m not ready for this sort of thing.
It’s so loud these days, try to remain calm
all those fading why’s
Letters that I wrote, words that you forgot
pearls in shades of grey
I keep fighting time, keep on walking by
All those fading why’s
