Wilco makes me happy, in a weird emo way

Mar 14, 2009 22:39

I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?

Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?

I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take it from the inside, baby hold on tight
You were so right when you said that I've been drinking
What was I thinking when I said good night?

I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now
Take off your Band-Aid because I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when I said hello?

I'd always thought that if I held you tightly
You'd always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in?

I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart

Disposable Dixie-cup drinking
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?

loves you
I'm the man who loves you

What was I thinking when I thought I could get over you?

Yeah, don't read too much into it, wanted to post in my LJ and have a ton of thoughts in my head and was feeling the wilco approach. I'm not actively trying to break anyone's heart, don't worry... I just feel like subconsciously I am, and it scares me I guess. Especially because I specifically know there is a heart I miss and care for fondly and I can't really expect to call it mine any time soon. My brain is a hopeless romantic.
