about

This song was inspired by many people, but a few in particular: Joseph Arthur, The Artichokes, Jamie Sessions, and the Monkey Business

lyrics

Well David’s car goes fast around the parking lot as we scream.
But we listen to our favorite songs on the stereo- I forgot the name of this one, till you remind me.
“I don’t know why I’m still afraid,” but we’re afraid to be alone.
But we got it alright tonight packed up tight in your room and you got her on the phone.

Well Jamie’s got a new car and it’s red, I don’t know where he went,
Maybe back to Pennsylvania, you’ll be there and I will name a song after you when I don’t sing it anymore.
Well “Jamie’s got a new car and it’s red,” I thought that’s what they said,
But we got it alright tonight, dancing in the rain in the streetlights outside your house.

And all those heads of curls that we had intentions for,
Will be knocking on our doors,
Saying “Oh you mean the world to me.”

Well Michael’s car won’t start outside the restaurant where he works.
But it’s the night I played a show and it’s the night he said he’d go,
And I know it’s her.

And she says, she says, “I can’t come out today,”
(“won’t you play”?)
She says “I can’t come out today,”
And I say, I say, “I know that I’ll just get in the way,”
But I say, “Won’t you play?
With me on the phone when you keep me hanging on?”

And all those heads of curls,
That we lost attention for,
Will be calling on our phones,
Saying “I thought I meant the world to you.”
