What remains of the day remains to be seen
By the TV that we never turn on
Each other's enough I never had it so rough
Ever since I been gone

White noise swells in my head
Making me worry it's the summertime
But it's the dead of the fall
It's the dead of the night hell yes I mind

I would give anything not to feel so jagged
I'd give anything not to feel so jagged
I'd give anything not to feel so jagged

I couldn't drink enough to make this make sense
But I think I'm gonna give it a try
There's no settling down
There's only driving downstate so I drive

I would give anything not to feel so jagged
I'd give anything not to feel so jagged
I'd give anything not to feel so jagged

I'd give anything not to feel so jagged
I'd give anything not to feel so jagged
I'd give anything not to feel so jagged

It was a lonely holiday
I was alone, you were away
In Fayetteville or in another state
There's so many towns I hate

When you leave me, it breaks me like a bone
But it's never as bad as when you come home
I've thought so much about suicide
Parts of me have already died

Lonely, baby I'm not lonely
Baby I'm not, I've got my imaginary friends
Happy, baby I'm so happy
Baby I'm so, I've got my imaginary friends
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?

It was a lonely holiday
I was alone, I was afraid
The bedroom walls were closing in
It must be closing time again

When you leave me, it breaks me like the note
That you said got stuck in your throat
I've thought so much about suicide
Parts of me have already died

Lonely, baby I'm not lonely
Baby I'm not, I've got my imaginary friends
Happy, baby I'm so happy
Baby I'm so, I've got my imaginary friends
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?

Lonely, baby I'm not lonely
Baby I'm not, I've got my imaginary friends
Happy, baby I'm so happy
Baby I'm so, I've got my imaginary friends
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?

Me and this girl we've been falling in love
Beneath the quarter moon, beneath the quarter moon
Me and this girl I've been living above
On a road called Oppenheimer

Tar on the roof there were stars in her hair
Beneath the quarter moon, beneath the quarter moon
Me and this girl we were going somewhere
On a road called Oppenheimer

Me and this girl we've been working it out
We've got a long way to go, we've got a long way to go
Me and this girl we've been having it out
On a road called Oppenheimer

Me and this girl we've been getting it on
Beneath the quarter moon, beneath the quarter moon
Watching it go 'til it's all the way gone
On a road called Oppenheimer

And the days gonna be today and the time is gonna be right now
No I'm never gonna fall for anyone else but her
And the place is gonna be right here
On a road called Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer

Me and this girl we been falling in love
Beneath the quarter moon, beneath the quarter moon
Me and this girl I've been dreaming above
On a road called Oppenheimer

Tar on the roof there were stars in her hair
Beneath the quarter moon, beneath the quarter moon
Me and this girl we were going somewhere
On a road called Oppenheimer

And the days gonna be today and the time is gonna be right now
No I'm never gonna fall for anyone else but her
And the place is gonna be right here
On a road called Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer
Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer

Me and this girl we've been working it out
We've got a long way to go, we've got a long way to go

Well the room was Mediterranean and the meaning was two-
fold
We got busted by your mother though you're 29 years old
And the pictures wrapped in cellophane like sandwiches or
stamps
Burned holes in my pockets and in the inseam of my pants

And your graduation date is in absentia today
And you wished you was there with her, but you told her not
to stay
And the redwoods and the oak trees and the double yellow
lines
Although they're in perfect symmetry they keep imperfect
time

I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm
indefinitely
I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm
indefinitely

And the car was Japanese perhaps or Hungarian and blue
And it followed you down highway one, kept almost out of
view
And it symbolizes something although you don't know what it
is
Like loneliness and longing for a future perfect kiss

I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm
indefinitely
I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm
indefinitely

And the second hand's the first thing that you see when you
wake up
It rolls by in slow motion and you rub it for good luck
Time is gonna tell your little secrets to me
There's a frightened girl inside of you, I'm gonna set her
free

I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm
indefinitely
I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm
indefinitely
I don't mean no, I don't mean maybe, I'm indefinitely, I'm
indefinitely

Well the hour is late for a visit on a whim
Well the hour is late for a quiet drunken talk
I don't begrudge you the anger in your voice
No I don't begrudge you anything at all

'Cause I know...that the time is scarce in Laredo with your friends
Your on hoiday, on a bender, in a daze
You find all nite food in a diner full of noise
Where the bad mood walks like ants across your plates

Chorus:
'Cause I know what this is
This is what we talk about
When we talk about love
When we talk about love

Yeah I know what this is
This is what we talk about
When we talk about love
When we talk about love

Well the city lights are on fuses that have blown
So the city sleeps, 'cause there's nothin else to do
Well the couch is deep and the phone receiver's warm
I miss you much too badly to convey to you

Repeat Chorus

And the hole in the screen is barely big enough for you
And not near enough for me to go
And the whole damn complicated
Situation could've been avoided if I'd only shut the window

And I may be leavin' myself open
To a murder or a heart attack
But I'm leavin' the back door open
'Til you come back, 'til you come back

And I may be movin' myself closer
To a real untimely end
But I'm leavin' the back door open
'Til you come home again, you come home again

And I told the neighbors, I put pictures up
And handed out some flyers at the show
And the whole town speculating
Situations could've been avoided if I'd only shut the window

And I may be leavin' myself open
To a murder or a heart attack
But I'm leavin' the back door open
'Til you come back, 'til you come back

And I may be movin' myself closer
To a real untimely end
But I'm leavin' the back door open
'Til you come home again, you come home again
'Til you come home again

And I may be leavin' myself open
To a murder or a heart attack
But I'm leavin' the back door open
'Til you come back, 'til you come back

And I may be movin' myself closer
To a real untimely end
But I'm leavin' the back door open
'Til you come home again, you come home again
'Til you come home again, 'til you come home

I watch, as it stops for a girl,
A moment, elaborate and weak.
I am easy in her midst,
Why elaborate, when there's no need to?

But I do, all night,
My words ring like money off a bar.
But she's here, asleep now,
One can only go alone so far.

One can only go alone so far.

I dream of a deep dark grave,
Seven feet below Saint Augustine.
And she's so easy in her breathing,
Why fall in love, when there's no need to?

But we do all night,
Sleep like spoons, forget whom we are.
But she's here, and she's wound down now.
One can only go alone so far.

One can only go alone so far.

There was a fine rain
There was a red wine
There was a long whistle
and it was a good sign

There was a band playin'
Somewhere off-screen
There was a girl sayin'

There was a half a harvest moon up on the hillside
Our love is made almost entirely of downside
Who would have thought it could feel so much better then?
Now there's a half a million things I wanna tell you
They tap the phone line and the speaker at the drive thru
Who would have thought it could feel so much different then?

Downtown, so weak
Let the idiot speak
Let the idiot speak
Let the idiot speak

Now there's strange way and awkward feelings
I'm bouncing off the wall, I'm talking to the ceilings
Who would have thought it could feel so bad sometimes?
Now there's a half a million reasons we can argue
You're right in front of me now and there's no one to talk to
Who would have thought it could feel so bad sometimes?

Downtown, so weak
Let the idiot speak
Let the idiot speak
Let the idiot speak
Let the idiot speak
Let the idiot speak
Let the idiot speak

(Solo)

Downtown, so weak
Let the idiot speak (Let the idiot speak)
Let the idiot speak (Let the idiot speak)
Let the idiot speak
Let the idiot speak (Let the idiot speak)
Let the idiot speak (Let the idiot speak)
Let the idiot speak
Let the idiot speak (Let the idiot speak)
Let the idiot speak (Let the idiot speak)
Let the idiot

Heartbreak, old friend, goodbye it's me again
Of late, I've had some thought of movin' in
Of all the many ways a man will lose his home
Well, there ain't none better than the girl who's movin' on

True love, I knew thought some of leavin' you
Bad thoughts I had, when valentines were due
Of all the many ways a man will break his heart
Well there ain't none meaner than he pulls his own apart

Valentine, the destroyer, valentine, you belong
In the stars, where you are, always rollin' on
Cried, I've cried till I couldn't carry on
It's a lonely, lonely feelin' when your valentine was wrong
It's a lonely, lonely feelin' when your valentine was wrong

Heartbreak, old friend, goodbye it's me again
Of late, I've had some thought of movin' in
Of all the many ways a man will lose his home
Well, there ain't none better than the girl who's movin' on

Valentine, the destroyer, valentine, you belong
In the stars, where you are, always rollin' on
Cried, I've cried till I couldn't carry on
It's a lonely, lonely feelin' when your valentine was wrong
It's a lonely, lonely feelin' when your valentine was wrong

Of all the many things that you were countin' on
Well, there ain't none better than the girl who's movin' on
No, there ain't none better than the girl who's movin' on
No, there ain't none better than the girl who's movin' on
