about

Written in 2008. Listening to a lot of The National's Boxer. Imagine they were on K Records. This is about biking in my hometown when I was eighteen and feeling Garden State level emotions.

lyrics

Write another stanza, write another stanza down
Let the spring bounce off the ground
And the water sprayed up on my jeans
From my bicycle will not bother me
'Cause I've got a lot of memories in my head
That a helmet struggles to surround
And if I'm going to find something to keep them in
I hear your roofing is the best in town

Plant your easter kisses on my cheek
Yes, these candies taste too sweet
Tell me I'm handsome, "You're handsome, too"
Don't let this winter melt on you

Running from the sunlight running me straight out of town
Turn this bike around
Because the tracks I've left are deep and pure
And they'll follow me, for sure
'Cause I've got a lot of worries in my head
That these memories cannot shut out
And the only way I know to keep them hid
I hear your roofing is the best in town

Plant your easter kisses on my cheek
Yes, these candies taste too sweet
Tell me I'm handsome, "You're handsome, too"
Don't let this winter melt on you

Plant your easter kisses on my cheek
Yes, these candies taste too sweet
Tell me I'm handsome, "You're handsome, too"
Don't let this winter melt on you

I'm alive, I guess
I'm alive, I guess
I'm alive, I guess for now
I'm alive, I hear your roofing is the best in town

Plant your easter kisses on my cheek
Yes, these candies taste too sweet
Tell me I'm handsome, "You're handsome, too"
Don't let this winter melt on you

Plant your easter kisses on my cheek
Yes, these candies taste too sweet
Tell me I'm handsome, "You're handsome, too"
Don't let this winter melt on you

I'm alive, I guess
I'm alive, I guess
I'm alive, I guess
I'm alive, for now
