Went to see the new baby
And we smoked weed on the back porch
And lying on my back with the pool floatie
"Raining Blood" just thundering forth

I said, "What do you say
Your parents take your place for an hour?
We can drive downtown
To our old favorite place
Let the years just melt away
And find ourselves back where we were found"

There's not a soul down on the corner
And that's a pretty certain sign
That I shouldn't try
To play the reformer
Picking up pieces of that old gang of mine

But what would they say
If it went the other way
And we flew to today
Through ten years of time
They'd be ashamed
I'm so sure they'd be ashamed
At what I claim to be doing with my life

Now they're all paired off
And kissing the other half goodnight
And then falling deep into the same sleep
While walls and warm sheets shut out the light

And I'm the only one
At the top of my lungs
Who's still singing sweet adelines
They're all filled up
They don't need the love
That I'm bringing that old gang of mine

Not a soul down on the corner
They're all safe sitting down behind smooth sheets of glass
I guess it's not going to get any warmer
And I guess it's raining slow
Until it's raining fast

wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine - Shearwater

Again last night I had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
No concerns about the world getting warmer
People thought that they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they'd like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in November

Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in . . .

sleeping in - the postal service

i accuse you

you start speaking to justify yourself

you're angry

you start yelling to get that anger off your chest

i say i really like you...

you start speaking for a long time in a diplomatic way something which basically means "i don't, get over it"  which handles the situation as well as doesn't make you look evil/bad/cruel..

don't try so hard sweetheart, who said not returning love was cruel?

For you to go and take this
And smash it apart
I’ve gone all this fucking way
To wind up back at…back at the start

Hey!
The closer we think we are
Well, it only got us so far
Now you’ve got anything left to show?
No, no I didn’t think so.
Hey!
The sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we’re not so tough
And love is not enough

Blame us because we are who we are.
Hate us because you'll never get that far.

Here we are.
Foreign to their world.
Straight and composed.
Your sermons I can do without
And I finally found.
That everybody loves to love you
When you're far away.
