lyrics

Something about the time feels wrong to me
Sometimes I feel that things aren't worth the time
The sky was filled with shapes that flew from the sun
All the thoughts you haunted were mine

I know you tried to reach a deeper core
But the words you wrote mean nothing anymore
I heard that you had planned to see it through
But when the time arrived I guess I kind of knew

And landing here I know I've had too much
The time I've spent is wasted at the slightest touch
As I watch the camera view I feel no chill
I can hear the house exploding yet the screen is still

I know you tried to reach the furthest shore
But the lines you draw don't tighten anymore
I thought you'd want to catch everything I threw
But when the time arrived I guess I kind of knew

Freeze me in time when the time passes through
And the summer hand turns to a winter tooth
Breaking a bone like the memory is not true
The summer hand turns to a winter tooth

Somethings that were soft now appear to hurt
Sometimes I think that things aren't worth the time

The sound of a great band finding their voice. I love these songs, they did some things that they probably wouldn't do now. Jack Kitzerow
