I've been away for far too longI've had my mind wrapped around this one songI heard last week on the radio whileDriving near that place we used to goWhere the track homes all look the sameWith the roofs and the tiles and the similar framesAll these streets are so wide and these cars are so lameAnd on every block I heard the whisper of your nameI spent so many evenings in my headI'd lie alone on an unmade bedCounting the minutes like numbered clocksShould I call, should I write, should I read, should I stop?I'm a child, I'm a ghost, I'm a slur, I'm a boastI'm a prince, I'm a king, I'm a ryhme, I'm a ringI'm unable to sleep, I'm unable to singI'm a desperate and lonely, frightened, unholy thingAnd you'd say la la la I'm so glad I'm over youAs you reach for your drink and you tell me you like my shoesAnd I smile like a wretch, there's not much else I can doI say I know what you mean, yeah it's weird for me tooBesides what would I sing about if I had you?SongtexteKinda sounds like la la la...La la la...I think maybe it was RadioheadThat had this weird little beat and a keyboard insteadOf guitar playing chords, I remember how boredYou would get with those bandsYou always said they play the same three chordsAnd you'd dance around in your t-shirt and singDon't you love Modest Mouse and adore Promise Ring?Don't you wish that you could just avoid everything?Join a band, go on tour, and think of me when you sing?And I'd think la la la yeah that sounds okay to meAnd you'd fall on the bed and I'd fall down to my kneesAnd I'd smile like my life depended on itThat's so weird I was mostly right about thatAlways eager to love and eager to leaveLa la la la la la la la la la la la la la...And I'd think la la la all these songs are so untrueAs I stare at this space inside of youAnd we don't belong and it sounds so wrongAnd you're beautiful with that gray stuff onI think yeah okay but maybe it's just the songAnd I miss you but it might just be the song Aus Songtexte Mania
