[Verse 1] New socks, new clothes, and new songs Next day they're old so just move on The food was thoughtful so chew on The leftovers left something to stew on At the local bar you get carded Like a worm who's in the wrong garden How fuckin' long you been gone? What's great about there? He changed; I called it The beer's better than the times you remember You and your brain shared different agendas No big deal- 50 percent was a waste- maybe more But you lived on the fence then Now you off it, but stay on even when the lights dimmed While you try to stop yawning Cuz' you want sleep But you preach its the cousin of death So stop loving the rest- follow your own damn sermons -the hard work might force you to sleep But it seems that you earned it -its not mellodrama but you wish it was Its real life and it cuts you up Fix up for a minute with a kiss and hug Then its back to your thoughts and you ditch the trust Everyone still thinking your the lucky one But you think they're jepetto so you cut and run
[Bridge (Sufjan Stevens)] When the night falls We see the star of wonder Wonderful night falls We see you We see you there
[Hook (Sufjan Stevens)] I see the stars coming down there Coming down there to the yard I see the stars coming down there Coming down there to my heart
[Verse 2] The old backyard's like a snow globe You can still see the grass through the snow though And even that is nostalgic the ups and downs From concrete verse grass make your glass look yo-yo No strings though, so when that cup looks full You believe it even though you heard Bingo Somebody called the numbers- you just mumbled And now you wondering why you stumbled Shoe laces tied up, your engine fired up The lights couldn't get no brighter Fighter inside you is done adapating You were built for this shit now you ready for action - but no cameras this time The wind chill cuts and you hear the windchimes Yeah-like a starters pistol The red button lover like you dodged a missle- declined Cuz' you don't need a pick up You figured it out no need to stick up You been on it for some breadcrumbs -that is better than peddling for the redrum Yeah- so don't scream bloody murder You don't need to be loud we heard ya -look at the stars for example They've been quiet as shit but I'm thankful
