lyrics

Turn it off, I thought it through, I’d rather cross a room
To pick up the news and read letters from you and look some information up
And put on some tunes from when we were in school and those kinds of things mattered a lot to you
Like it was still 1992

Knotted up, and punched in the guts from a job I’d not gotten to
And scratched in dust in the side of the moon visible in the afternoon
And pushed down to messes around the room that will just have to sit there until I’m through
Doing this thing I feel the need to do for you

I’m writing the words
Coming out of my mouth and popping into my mind
I’m writing the words all down and they’re gonna make you mine
I’m writing the words
Off the top of my head and from the back of my mind
I’m the words all down before I run out of time

A hundred months have passed since then and many friends we knew
And many things we overcame and everything we now do
So while I still remember I’ll retire to the bedroom
Impress this pen and paper and write all I want to say to you

I’m writing the words
Coming out of my mouth and popping into my mind
I’m writing the words all down and they’re gonna make you mine
I’m writing the words
Off of the top of my head and out of the back of my mind
I’m the words all down before I run out of time
