Shearwater

Went to see the new baby
And we smoked weed on the back porch
And lying on my back with the pool floatie
"Raining Blood" just thundering forth
I said, "What do you say
Your parents take your place for an hour?
We can drive downtown
To our old favorite place
Let the years just melt away
And find ourselves back where we were found"
Theres not a soul down on the corner
And thats a pretty certain sign
That I shouldnt try
To play the reformer
Picking up pieces of that old gang of mine
But what would they say
If it went the other way
And we flew to today
Through ten years of time
Theyd be ashamed
Im so sure theyd be ashamed
At what I claim to be doing with my life
Now theyre all paired off
And kissing the other half goodnight
And then falling deep into the same sleep
While walls and warm sheets shut out the light
And Im the only one
At the top of my lungs
Whos still singing sweet adelines
Theyre all filled up
They dont need the love
That Im bringing that old gang of mine
Not a soul down on the corner
Theyre all safe sitting down behind smooth sheets of glass
I guess its not going to get any warmer
And I guess its raining slow
Until its raining fast
