lyrics

Gave up the dream long ago
I said the words super slow to myself: “I’ve been losing before.”
Turn over the planet to someone new
I hipped you to the Silver Jews
But I know
You gave up the dream long ago

Found someone that could trip out all night
Found someone that could drink while you drive so slow
Long ago

Certainly not poet
But I’m certainly afraid to show it with you
Ask for better weather but the order never seems to come true
Writing stupid letters in the rain
I love how much her loves her and it’s all that you had to do
The shit that she went through

There’s something about swimming king tides
There’s something about thumbing that knife

So slow
Long ago
