lyrics

Hey weatherman, can you stay true?
You’re facing a little test, but I’ve got faith in you.
Now I had bigger plans, but they fell through.
Can’t believe that you wanted to leave, can’t believe that you married a seamstress.
Now I can see your hands, shaking like they always do.

Relation. Ships.

You’re lying through your teeth now say hello.

I was as high as the sky in your eyes, you were as white as your favorite color. Mike and Meg comfortable I saw them dancing through the window. She’s always been the apple of his eye, funny thing is he’s standing in an orchard. Looks like he’s buttoned his shirt up too tight, I wonder why he hasn’t said hello.

You’re lying through your teeth now saw hello.

The signs are everywhere, I’m wine drunk alone Norah Jones in my headphones. The cupboards bare, steal a few weekends here and there. Remember I’d leave you those notes after classes, they’d say to call me I’m missing your mattress. Remember I’d leave you those notes on your windshield, they’d say to call me I’m missing your laugh kid.

I know you’re sad, I’ll hang up a light for every year you’re missing.
I’ll hang up a light for every year you’re gone.

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr

While I understand the change of direction completely. I do wish we got one more show where this album was played in full, as there are a lot of bangers slept on here. bdogz
