lyrics

Circa 2008
I feel Nostalgic for that sound
Time and time again
I will only let you down
Back in our hometown
Gone for a decade back a couple years
With the streets I remember
And the same old fears
This town is…

It’s Ugly elegant
Woke up the world’s all rearranged
A happy accident
Found that the meaning hadn’t changed

Circa 2021 bought ourselves
A few acres of sacred land
Try to be holy through osmosis
Or just raise our boys with less blood on their hands
Now You’ve lived through all my references
The songs increasingly hard to hear
Exactly How many times do you need to rehash the same old fears

Is it a happy accident?
If you find the meaning hasn’t changed
Well that’s irrelevant
If you can’t keep the subject in the frame

I don’t know who this is even for
Digging up the past, pairing it with the new
For the sake of continuity ?
Or just something that feels true?
And…

Ugly elegant
Look back at what we overcame
This feeling’s infinite
The weight, the joy, the counterclaims
Heavy delicate
Heavy rain, and an open door
Some kind of sacrament
Baptized in torrential downpour
