lyrics

The summer nights grew longer before my eyes
and suddenly it was fall
and it was like I hadn't seen you at all
and we can never go back
The quiet life's the life for me
I'll die quietly
But that's a lie
God knows I don't wanna die
Don't let my boy
see his old man cry

If I can't change for you
then I can't change at all
My life defined by slope
delineating a free fall

The grass shrinks
from cooler breeze
and murmurs half-hearted pleas
that it knows no one will hear
kinda reminds me of me
There was a spark in your eye
only to find it can't be returned
Have you resigned yourself
to your loss
Me, I can't forget how it burned.

(Pitchfork (8.0)) ... more
