about

The lyrics are a bummer but this music is so fun! I can't think of anything else to say about this one. Thanks to Dan for coming up with all the crazy sounds.

lyrics

I see you at your sister's place
Wearing scarves and blackened lace
Dressed up like the day we met in high school

I know you're feeling twice as sad
But know I'm feeling twice as bad
I never thought I’d lose you so fast

And every word I said, well it just came out wrong
I was such a fool
You were always cool

In the front seat of my old car I'm digging for cassettes,
Songs about regrets, and a ball point pen
I’m leaving you a note to say how wrong I was today
But the rain on the windows smears the ink on the page

And every word I wrote just seemed to mean something else
I was never good
At saying what I should

There’s so much beauty in this wreck of ours
We can work it through
I'm not over you

The last 3 days at home have been the bitter end
I've been losing friends to the written page

Broken rhymes and vinyl plays
Over drinks and the Soft Parade
I only hope I change your mind this time

Every thought I had well it just fell apart
I was always there
You don't even care

There is so much beauty in this wreck of ours
We can work it through
I'm not over you
There is so much love here in this wreck of ours
We can make it through
Babe, I still love you
