Follow up now to the new year
Babe, it's not pretend, we're alright being out here
Wading in your garden while the wild kids spill
They drink all over everyone
But if it takes too long I'm gonna disappear
Right into the abstract shadow of an old cheer
Making space on yesterday's tapes
Tossed out film when the light didn't sink in
Ah yesterday's tapes, how the light didn't sink in
Locked out on the pavement
A fist in the crowd
Hey man
Come talk me down
Walking outside as the air clears
I follow the singing birds, I all but forget
And I knew you were right
There's nothing really out here
But white noise and sleeping cars
Almost done, hold my beer
See, Anna I thought you were the unsung pioneer
Making space on yesterday's tapes
Tossed out film when the light didn't sink in
Ah yesterday's tapes, how the light didn't sink in
Out of all the things to run through my mind
Looked out on the pavement
A fist in the crowd
Hey man
Come talk me down
Coming up and outta this cold year
I made a mistake, I hope it was unclear
When you heard me sing through the shower and bent
Under the burden of an astronaut
Now I'm almost done, hold my beer
See, now I've been thinking you were never quite here
Making space on yesterday's tapes
Tossed out film when the light didn't sink in
(Hey man)
Ah, yesterday's tapes
Yeah, some of this will sink in
Oh, when we're too old to care
Oh, when will that be?
Oh, when we're too old to care
Oh, when will that be?
When we're too old to care
Oh, when will that be?
