Looking back she said it’d been a bad day/
And "I am permanently in search of heartbreak/
But not how you think; I like songs recounting/
Half remembered conversations/
Thoughts shared with long forgotten lovers/
I don’t think they were really better times"/
So I said I can’t help but write songs about myself and I’m sick of it/
It’s just I don’t want to presume to know how someone else feels or thinks/
And all I know is a vague sense of unease in my own skin/
Which makes for a lot of awkwardness in situations like these/
"From the first chord I feel my hear beat faster/
An involuntary reaction to the sound of/
Rust corrosion, ancient pickups anxious shuffled feet/
This is what I exist for; this is everything/"
So I said I can’t help but write songs about myself and I’m sick of it/
It’s just I don’t want to presume to know how someone else feels or thinks/
And all I know is a vague sense of unease in my own skin/
Which makes for a lot of awkwardness in situations like these/

In a more perfect world, this band would blaring out of every radio on Earth. The lyrics, the vocals, the just-outta-teens snark and earnestness... so much to love. paulimboden
