Song for the Year:
See These Bones, Nada Surf
Everyone's right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of this story
From the sharks and the jets
To the call in the morning
Everyone's right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of this story
From the sharks and the jets
To the call in the morning
And life is just bets anyway
Look alive, see these bones
What you are now, we were once
Try as they might, no one's immune to
Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues
And thinkin' it's time to redo and redo
I feel rain in the movies and the talk before the screen lights
I hear strings in the park
I don't like to call her right, except when its too late at night
I mostly just think in the dark
Look alive, see these bones
What you are now, we were once
Just like we are, you'll be dust
And just like we are, permanent
You were too tired to eat, too hungry to sleep
Just imagine the speed, it's just what you need
Look alive, see these bones
What you are now, we were once
And just like we are, you'll be dust
And just like we are, permanent
The lights in the city are more or less blinking
Which side of the story decides what you're thinking
Warm arms and cold faces
We're squinting, we're hurrying
We'll take inventory
We're digging, we're burying
Do you remember when the line was blown
Do you remember when it fell
Do you remember when you went to her house, remember ringing the bell
Look alive, see these bones
What you are now, we were once
Just like we are, you'll be dust
Just like we are, permanent
Song for January:
Always, Saliva
I hear... a voice say "Don't be so blind"...
It's telling me all these things...
That you would probably hide...
Am I... your one and only desire...
Am I the reason you breathe...
Or am I the reason you cry...
Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't get around you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take any more...this life of solitude...
I guess that I'm out the door...and now I'm done with you...
I feel... like you don't want me around...
I guess I'll pack all my things...
I guess I'll see you around...
Its all... been bottled up until now...
As I walk out your door all I hear is the sound...
Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't get around you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take any more...this life of solitude...
I guess that I'm out the door...and now I'm done with you...
I left my head around your heart...
Why would you tear my world apart...
Always... always... always... always...
I see... the blood all over your hands...
Does it make you feel... more like a man...
Was it all... just a part of your plan...
The pistol's shakin' in my hands and all I hear is the sound...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't get around you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take any more...this life of solitude...
I guess that I'm out the door...and now I'm done with you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take any more...this life of solitude...
I pick myself off the floor...and now I'm done with you...
Always...
Always...
Always...
