The city you live in
Will give you no clues
About how to deal with somebody’s blues
In my daydreams I can be what I want,
Dragging up and down the things we belong
San Francisco is where everything changed
Stuck in bathrooms calling your name
There’s no ocean that can keep me from you
Want to be beside you singing “Man on the Moon”!
Now you see faces coming in tides
A useless parade is cheering your pride
We used to share a way out from the crowd
Now it’s too much talking and brainy “Knives Out”
London late June got the ticket for the Shins
You’re still singing ‘bout the shape of my knees
Please say something about these miserable days
Can you here my echo while it’s slowly decaying
I’m so happy I cannot sleep
A useless parade is still flocking in
We used to share a way out from the crowd
Now it’s too much talking and brainy “Knives out”
Oh, love is a mess. Love is a mess, and what d’you get?
Oh, we slowly decay, we slowly decay, then we fade
Oh there’s no Lancashire, there’s no summering, no more Aeroplanes flying over the Sea
No Decemberists, no more Elliot Smith, just an empty seat while I’m driving back home

Come on and meet me on the other side
I can show you why it’s over
Soberly speaking…we don’t need to drag this things around
But I feel so guilty…being such a slob
Now “So long Marianne” still playing in my head
You’re a scribble in the sands, just a simple smile and see you again
Come on and meet me at the 305
I can show why it’s over
I know what you mean, “we’re still gazing into each other eyes”
It’s all that we need but you will let it go
Now “So long Marianne” still playing in my head
You’re a scribble in the sands, just a simple smile and see you again
Now “So long Marianne” still playing in my head
You’re a scribble in the sands, just a simple smile and see you again

Think about Sebastian
The day he broke his nose
He just turned around to say hello, and the blood rushed down to the floor
There were the days of Soft Parades
The girls all dressed in black
You’ve been screaming through the fields
“Where are you Where are you it’s getting cold here!”
What happened in your life
All the streets are winding
All the streets are leading me back
Oh I’m wasting time
I’m here I’m taking you down
I’m here I’m making you drown
In the suburbs, we’ll never be what we’ve been
Now everything is dreary
Everything is over my head
No morning kisses to get through the days
Where are you where are you is getting cold here
Falling back to New York
Hey you got to get over it
As you never had a cry
We’ll float like feather
We’ll see the days coming in

Sebastian sales away
Said he won’t get back ‘til summer days
Penelope will cry a dry still cry ‘til morning light
I’ve crossed a million smiles to get back home
And after all what’s the score?
So maybe this is what happiness is about
A great familiar sound before we kiss the ground
Passing by the lights of Sunday morning
When I come home without a warning
It took about two years I’m red-eyed and shaken
But I’ll manage somehow
In your bedroom up all night
The ghost of my desires, it’s still around
It’s always been a wait-and-see a happy day and then you pay
The beautiful the handsome boy forget it all it’s all too far
Passing by the lights of Sunday morning
When I come home without a warning
It took about two years I’m red-eyed and shaken
But I’ll manage somehow
It’s cowardly to say that I need you
But my kisses still suit you
Everything is sinking away now
You’re just a smear on the pane

I was pleased to find your troubled smile
I was please to say goodbye
Everything else it’s bitter-sweet pornography
Leave the highlights for the books of love
It’s seems like you’ve been here before
The Great Salt Lake, your front porch and the radio
I don’t believe what you say
You’ve been nowhere and now you’re back again
I don’t believe you’ve made up your mind
Well, I’d love to but I’m lying on the ground
So you run your heart across the fields
So you’re calling me love oh…come on please!
You’ve turned yourself in, and now you sell philosophy
I don’t believe what you say
You’ve been nowhere and now you’re back again
I don’t believe you’ve made up your mind
Well, I’d love to but I’m lying on the ground
This place calls your name
I would break my arms around you once again
This time of year is great to sail away

You could be my head
Have you ever thought of it?
Don’t want to put you to the test
I’m not in the right mood
Stay out of my nightmares
Stay out of my dreams
You’re not even welcomed in my memories
But you’re spinning away, dragging your days around
You gave what you gave
I don’t feel betrayed
It’s all over
You could be my torture
I don’t really care about it
I’m probably sober, I’m finally free
What about the “Marry me now”
What about if it hurts
What about your feet on the ground
It’s all over
But you’re spinning away, dragging your days around
You gave what you gave
I don’t feel betrayed
It’s all over nobody will forgive me
Someday you will surely know
How to get through it
Something in your smile that tears me down
The space between your front teeth I can’t go without
One day… oh God how hard I tried
To be better off
Still falling back on your mother’s front porch
What a bargain such a drag

Was outside this big blue building, on the last day of the year
With a blanket and a sphere
Grow more disappointing to you/as our future warps and fades
Somewhere between the things I waste
So it’s you, there are things you want me to do
When you started collecting novels waiting for a boy
But in the midnight hour all the weight of the world crashed down into this ocean bowl
“Come on serenade my sorrows, with the good time of the past, as we both know that this won’t last”
And everybody tried to figure out what kind of love is it, but we both know who will disappear
“’Cause it’s you, you’re all the things you want me to do” as I started collecting novels waiting for a boy
All the midnight hours when all the weight of the world, crashed down into this ocean bowl
Is it wicked not to care, when you’re bleeding flowers, is it my heart that you’ve been throwing against the world?
For the promises we made as me being your harbor, it’s all right it’s ok it’s just my mind
When you started feeling something, all the ashes will flow, with your rights and my wrongs,
Here comes the midnight hour all the weight of the world, crashed down into this ocean bowl
Stay away tonight, feel the earth beneath my feet but I’m dying
Stay away my love, you’re a language I don’t speak anymore…
When you started feeling something, all the ashes will flow, with my rights and your wrongs,
But in the midnight hour with all the weight of the world, splashed down into this ocean bowl

Hold me tight, candy-floss eyes,
And harbor my spineless desires
Lock me in, sing it for me
“Heaven-faced, you call out my name,
Through the silhouettes, the glances, the crowd”
Sebastian, my name and my mouth,
Coming in
Please tear my heart out ‘cause I don’t want to feel
We’re kind of tipsy while microphone squeaks
And your whispers said “we are just like animals”
“You got your mother’s eyes, don’t you notice?”
“Heaven-faced, you call out my name”
And the silhouettes were circling around
Sebastian, your name in my mouth,
Come closer…
“This time is different, I mean you really like me”
We crossed the distance while the crowd disappeared
Please take my hand “We are not like animals”
I made your sister cry, twice.
